Day 133: Nostalgia for the Light

Tonight I went to a screening of the movie Nostalgia for the Light. It was really beautiful, exploring the relationship between astronomers searching for clues to the universe and people searching for clues of what happened to their loved ones, desparecidos during the reign of Pinochet, in the Atacama desert in Chile.

The film is a visual elegy, and I loved hearing the curling Chilean Spanish accent for an hour and a half. I love these fragments of beauty floating through the universe - they are there, when you seek them out.
