I Am From Chile (2014)

Whisked away from the familiar landscapes of Chile, young Salvador embarks on a vibrant journey to London, eager to master the English language and traverse the rich tapestry of Europe. His London abode is shared with his unpredictable aunt Maria, a 55-year-old free spirit, buoyed by alcohol and a stubborn refusal to grow up. However, a sudden financial storm engulfs Salvador's family back in Chile, threatening to eclipse his London dream. Despite the looming shadow of economic despair, Salvador is intoxicated by the allure of the city, resisting the pull to return home. With the aid of his motley crew of flatmates - Maria, Ivan, a Russian purveyor of illicit substances, and Yoshiko, his enchanting Japanese girlfriend - he clings onto his London life. He navigates a labyrinth of temporary jobs while confronting the harsh waves of reality that buffet him out of his comfortable bourgeois cocoon. In this narrative, Salvador's journey unfolds as a captivating tale of resilience and adaptation, offering a poignant exploration of the human spirit's unyielding determination in the face of adversity.
