Logline
In a journey into the past, a family reconstructs the history they lived with their father. Between memories fragmented by the violence he exercised, family photographs retained for a decade and judicial archives, they try to reconnect imaginary with him, unravelling the complexity of Chilean fatherhood in the post-dictatorship. Burning Daddy creates a new and deformed family album and challenges the fragmentation of wounded memory.
