plot
In 1978, Ruiz was commissioned to make a television documentary about the French elections from the viewpoint of a Chilean exile in Parisâ eleventh arrondissement. But, contrary to the producersâ expectation, the Left lost. Ruiz seized on this anti-climax to make a documentary about nothing except itself â a film whose central subject is forever lost in digression and âdispersalâ, harking back to his Chilean experiments of the â60s. Its political content is deliberately left negligible: itâs hard to tell at the end who did actually win the election, let alone why.
