About the film
In Valparaíso, Gabriela strips away old wallpaper while five decades of family silence slowly come loose. Letters, diaries, home videos and conversations with her grandparents reveal both the violence they survived and the tenderness that held them together. The house gives the film its shape: every repaired wall brings her closer to her mother in Barcelona, and to a history carried by the next generation.
