Through unpublished archives and the voices of its inhabitants, Ándate a la punta del cerro reconstructs the living memory of a community that has stood strong in the face of abandonment. From its founding roots in the 1970s, through the communal soup kitchens of the pandemic, to the current perspective of Luisa Maraboli, a symbol of female leadership, the documentary weaves a choral portrait of identity, territory, and self-management. More than a local story, it is a declaration of existence: at the top of the hill, people not only survive, they create, love, and start over.
In a totalitarian religious community, a docile, medicated young woman begins to hide a mysterious girl who awakens her repressed desires. What begins as an act of rebellion turns into a dark metamorphosis: under the harassment of her fanatical mother, the young woman confuses the real with the forbidden and, in her attempt to escape, undergoes a bodily ritual where she discovers that Liliana could be just the incarnate reflection of her own desire. The final liberation does not save her: it transforms her.
