This is not a tale of two refugees from Nazi Germany meeting to discuss the current world situation. Instead it is a kaleidoscope of impressions consisting of interviews with fellow Chilean exiles talking about the daily problems of living abroad, with no perspective of what the future might bring. There are also a number of scripted scenes in which more problematic, potentially factious, questions are discussed: what image of Chile should be projected abroad, what should be expected from their host nation and its good-willing but maybe politically naive inhabitants. How can the struggle be continued and, perhaps the most contentious, what kind of mistakes were made by the Left.
