Roja estrella

A star on the facade of a building disappeared in 1973, days after the coup in Chile. In 2014, news of its whereabouts was received: a photographer had found it riddled with bullets and kept it at his home, unaware of its significance. Expert analysis and restoration allowed it to be recognized and transformed into a museum piece: it was the star that crowned the headquarters of the Communist Party of Chile for decades. Today, 10 years later, this film emerges from found archives and the attempt to reconstruct its history.
