This documentary explores the relationship between several very mature ladies who were schoolmates and have the habit of meeting each month at one of their homes to have tea together (there the name: "la Once", teatime in Chile). This has been going on for over 40 years. One of the ladies is the director's grandma, and she starts filming the meetings on a regular basis and keeps this up for over six years.
The small chit chat that goes on at these teatimes, the memories they exchange and (specially) the passage of time are really striking.
You start to know and feel for each of these ladies (all upper class that went to a very exclusive girls school). As time goes by, the talk becomes more intimate and gives a deeper glimpse into their deepest feelings.
This film is a true work of love and is very exceptional. Try to see it (recently picked it up at Netflix)
