Chile, 1976. Carmen heads off to the beach, to supervise the renovation of her family’s house. Her husband, her children and grandchildren come back and forth during the winter holiday. When the family priest asks her to take care of a young man he is sheltering in secret, Carmen steps onto uncharted waters, away from the quiet life she is used to.

Production notes
1976 is directed by a first-time filmmaker, but it relays an astonishing confidence, both in the story that is being told, and the visual form that it takes. The film takes us to a very dark moment in Chilean history, anchored in Carmen, a woman that tries to find a voice in a context that would not allow her to have one. With careful period consideration, it also has a very contemporary approach, which looks back at the untold stories of the women of the time.
