- Synopsis
- The film director’s house in Santiago has a door that leads to the sidewalk, which
  separates two spaces: the inner space, the house itself, and the outer space, the
  city. There is a corridor in the inner space which has a large window that leads
  to a small patio. The wisteria, the boungavillea and the old vine trunk struggle
  among them. They coexist with a variety of birds that come down to the patio
  and drink water from a fountain and bathe in it, plus one cat that belongs to the
  adjacent houses. Sunlight comes through the window as it moves during the
  changing seasons. Inside the house, there are many objects from which the
  director takes stories that he tells with his own voice. These stories are interrupted
  when acquaintances and strangers ring the bell. The director opens the door and
  becomes interested in the strangers. He asks about their address and goes to their
  houses to knock on their doors, creating a net of links between his house and the
  strangers’ houses. This net is drawn in a large map of the city found inside the
  house. This way, a braid of characters, spaces, time and stories is built.
