Description

Blue Box weaves together two stories – one from Carmen’s underground life in the 1980s Chilean resistance movement fighting the Pinochet dictatorship, the other of a passionate and complicated relationship with a charismatic Chicano actor – each exploring how to get what we want when no one wants us to get it. Funny, sexual, moving, and deeply political, Blue Box reveals a woman committed to a cause for which she would have sacrificed her life and to a man who refused to sacrifice anything for anyone.
