El mundo abajo

Between the depths of the oceans and the troposphere (two confronting abysses), between the Atacama desert and the periphery of the big city (two faces of the untamed), Patricio Jara presents us with a set of seven lucidly interconnected stories that submerge us there. where the fearful breaks through with the violence of a tsunami. An air route designer, a professional diver who does not want to return to the sea after a traumatic accident, a couple of researchers at the mouth of the Loa River, some former students who find their former teacher destroyed by alcohol, a rock musician on tour in Europe who remembers his trip to Calama to buy his first guitar, the workers of a seedy car scrapyard and a German soldier fighting in Africa in World War II are the characters who blur the line between right and wrong, that show the narrow distance between the everyday and the sinister.
