The narratives and desires of migrants who arrive in the border town of Colchane, in the Tarapacá region on the Bolivian border of Chile, after their arduous exodus, are the starting point of the poetic confrontation of the documentary essay film "Constitución Nómada". At an altitude of over 3700 meters above sea level, the experimental use of sound and image deconstructs the process of Chilean constitution-making through the ideas of state, citizenship, nationality and sovereignty. The marginalized, as well as the non-state, are thus given creative expression. Working with the imaginary of the vast and empty landscapes of the Atacama, the desert serves as a stage for a still unwritten constitution of the nomadic self, creating a vulnerable space for the dreams and needs of the unheard; a polyphonic and symbolic political voice that echoes throughout the mountains, generating new resonances and alliances.
