December 31st, 2018. The streets of Santiago turn into the stage of a collective party where people share their wishes for the year to come. Demian and Maite, two strangers up until that night, walk through the city discovering each other amidst a sea of people. This non-fiction short film, shot on New Year's Eve, witnesses an intimate encounter in a euphoric city. Time passes by and a social revolt and a pandemic turn this footage into a portrait of an unrepeatable night.
