Unfinished Diary

This heartwarming docudrama follows Chilean immigrant Marilú Mallet as she strives to craft a film about her experience of deep isolation. Her English-speaking husband, a prominent film director, critiques her subjective approach to filmmaking. Their young son, raised in Quebec, speaks only French. Through interviews with Isabel Allende and other Chilean exiles, the film reveals a deep bond at its core, presenting a powerful and resonant meditation on language, genre, exile, and immigration.
