After an act of vengeance on the home of her ex-lover, Nona, 66, flees to her summer house on the Chilean coast. There, forest fires are spreading, but her home is undamaged. While houses go up in flames, Nona displays different sides of her character: the grandmother, the friend, the anarchist…

After Casa Roshell (MUBI 2018), Chilean director Camila José Donoso turns to her grandmother for a mysteriously fictional, gorgeously dreamlike character study. Meet Nona: an incendiary woman with deep Pinochet-era scars, and an invigorating look of defiance behind those shades. A force of nature.
