    • Synopsis
    • Stitch by stitch, frame by frame and memory by memory, this Stop-Motion documentary unburies Heleny Guariba’s life history. Heleny was a philosopher, professor and theatre director who disappeared in 1971 under the Brazilian dictatorship. It is inspired by the arpilleras, tapestries made with leftovers of fabric and simple stitches during Pinochet regime in Chile able to denounce what could not have been told in words.
