Locarno Film ‘My Brothers Dream Awake’ Paints a Portrait of Adolescent Dreams Burned by the Chilean System

Huaiquimilla’s second feature follows the boys Ángel and Franco , two brothers who have been locked up for a year in a National Service for Minors center, awaiting trial. Despite the hostile conditions of the place, they support each other and create bonds with the other boys and girls, share the routine of confinement, trying to stay alive while dreaming of the day they will get back their freedom.

At that moment, she remembered a case that appeared in her research for the previous film, which was about 10 kids that died in a fire inside a center located in Puerto Montt in 2007. “Outside of that center there is a memorial. The photographs were all destroyed and it seemed to me that there was no record that these children ever existed.

This film, shot during the Chilean uprising and completed during a global health crisis, resonates powerfully with social demands that are the basis of discussions taking place for the writing of a new constitution in Chile. “In order for a child to be locked up in this place, an education system, a health system and a system of protection has failed.
