Synopsis

Patricio Guzmán's *Nostalgia for the Light* is a profound contemplation of memory, history, and the enduring passage of time. The Chilean Atacama Desert, a desolate expanse perched at 10,000 feet, offers astronomers unparalleled clarity of the night sky. Yet, this stark landscape also guards relics of the past: the remains of people, ranging from ancient mummies predating Columbus to the bones of those abducted and vanished during the Pinochet regime.
