- A journey repeats itself as the distant republic of Chile welcomes a group of Palestinian refugees to a small town where hundreds of Palestinians had already arrived a century ago, making this their new home as well.
- English:
After the fall of Saddam Hussein, thousands of Palestinians living in Iraq became refugees in no man's land. The distant republic of Chile welcomed a group of them in La Calera, a small town where hundreds of Palestinians arrived a century ago, making this town their childrens home.
The journey continues as it has been for the past 100 years.
Basem, a young Palestinian who has just arrived with his wife and young daughter, faces his new country full of enthusiasm, ingenuity and hope. He longs for a home in this seductive, unknown world, thousands of miles from their homeland.
In La Calera, Basem recovers his office as a baker and set up his own business. He hopes that his efforts, together with the support of the big community of Palestinian descendants will lead him to fulfill his dream of bringing their elderly parents with him, and to live all together again.
Español:
Tras la caída de Saddam Hussein, miles de palestinos avecindados en Irak se han convertido en refugiados en tierra de nadie. La lejana república de Chile ha dado la bienvenida a un grupo de ellos en La Calera, una pequeña ciudad que cientos de palestinos llegados hace un siglo y sus descendientes han hecho propia.
El viaje continúa, tal como hace 100 años.
Basem, un palestino que acaba de llegar con su esposa y su pequeña hija, enfrenta su nuevo país lleno de entusiasmo, ingenuidad y esperanza. Añora un hogar en este mundo desconocido y seductor, a miles de kilómetros de su tierra natal.
En su nuevo país, Basem recupera su oficio de panadero y monta su propio negocio. Tiene la esperanza de que sus esfuerzos y el apoyo de la numerosa comunidad de descendientes de palestinos lo ayudarán a cumplir su sueño: traer a sus ancianos padres con él para vivir todos juntos otra vez.
