A day in the life of a typical rural family from central Chile. The grandmother sells cheese by the roadside, the grandfather works in the fields, the daughter is a cook at an inn, and the grandson attends school. In four separate sections, we follow their small struggles and joys throughout a day that candidly reveals a changing Chile that few are familiar with.
