I met Jaime when I placed a camera in one of the administrative offices at the psychiatric wing of San Fernando's public hospital; a small rural city in Chile's sixth region. As I didn't have formal authorization to film inside the hospital at the time, we devised a sort of "confessional room" where people could talk in front of the camera as they pleased.
The stakes keep on rising in this riveting and award-winning portrait of a unique character. As Jaime speaks charismatically to the camera, the boundaries between reality and fiction blur and become indistinct. En route to its unexpected ending, the film asks: Perception is reality, or is it?
