About
A voice emerges at night from the confines of a school in a country under military dictatorship. That voice belongs to Auxilio, a young philosophy teacher from Valparaíso. From her hiding place, which is both refuge and displacement, she moves through time and memory. Auxilio unfolds as a fragmented narrative, an insistent repetition that refuses silence, offering a reflection on history, resistance, and the impossibility of forgetting.
