LAS NIÑAS QUISPE
THE QUISPE GIRLS
Sebastián Sepúlveda / Argentina, Chile, France / 2013 / 83 min / Colour
Based on an event that actually occurred in 1974, the film narrates the story of three sisters, Justa, Lucia, and Luciana Quispe, who lead a solitary life in the high mountains of Chile. They raise goats, and their repetitive days in the grandiose and unsettling panorama of the mountains are marked by silence and nearly total remove from the rest of the world. A visitor brings word of a new law that could upset their way of life. This new fact will fracture their equilibrium, lead them to question their very existence, and drag them inexorably toward a tragic end.
