Film Lens
Otro Sol presents a narrative where real and invented characters are trapped in a film that acts as a purgatory for retired thieves. The story is set in the Atacama Desert and centers on the myth of Alberto Cándia, a Chilean thief known for stealing the Cathedral of Cadiz in Andalucia during the late 1980s. The film's circular structure invites viewers to engage with Cándia's legend, blurring the lines between reality and fiction.
Through this creative lens, Otro Sol examines themes of crime and myth-making while immersing the audience in the rich cultural landscape of Chile. The film features a cast that includes Alice Lemaire, Quentin Broyer, and Andrea López, and is directed by Aline Magrez. With a runtime of 86 minutes, it combines elements of experimental cinema with a focus on a notorious figure in Chilean history.
