This Chilean literary thriller tells the story of three lives intertwined with that of an enigmatic author, whose character is inspired by the groundbreaking Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector.
Three figures gather around the comatose body of a legendary Latin American writer. As Daniel, Emilia, and Horacio tell their stories, they reconstruct Vera’s past, trying—in different ways and before it’s too late—to unveil the dying woman’s secrets. Spanning from modern-day Chile to the 1950s, 60s, and through the years of the Pinochet dictatorship, In the Distance With You reveals successive mysteries and discoveries like a set of Russian nesting dolls.
