Synopse
After a torrid act of vengeance on the
home of her ex-lover, 66-year old Nona
flees to her summer house in Pichilemu,
a Chilean coastal town. There she
potters about in apparent satisfaction,
until a series of forest fires drives many
of her neighbors from their homes. The
formerly quiet shady streets are imbued
with fear. The police investigation turns
up nothing and the residents grow
increasingly speculative about the
possible cause. Remarkably enough,
Nonas small home is undamaged. Whilst
more and more houses go up in flames,
this intriguing protagonist displays the
different sides of her character: Nona the
grandmother, Nona the friend, Nona the
anarchist, Nona the storyteller, joker, liar
and Nona the firebrand
