The Wandering Soap Opera (2017)

In the captivating spectacle that is The Wandering Soap Opera, reality is an illusion and the world unfolds as a series of dramatic soap operas. This film ingeniously suggests that Chilean existence is not a tangible reality, but rather an intricate tapestry of melodramatic serials. Four distinct audiovisual provinces emerge, each brimming with its own narrative, yet united by an anticipated tension of impending conflict. The story plunges the audience into a fantastical universe, where political and economic strife is suspended in a gelatin of fiction, partitioned into nightly episodes. Chile's reality, in all its complexities, is refracted through the lens of a soap opera, unmasking it and revealing its underlying truths. This film is a mirror held up to society, refracting the Chilean condition through a prismatic lens of serialized drama. The Wandering Soap Opera is a riveting exploration of perceived reality, testing the boundaries of the ordinary and the extraordinary. It invites audiences to question their understanding of the world as they journey through this vibrant, surreal landscape, where soap operas serve as a surreal but enlightening reflection of life.

The Wandering Soap Opera is a comedy movie featuring Pamela Fernandez.
