A man in chains, a young man who dreams of being part of something, to become a militant for an armed group who must wield a cruelty in which he may not believe in. The characters, each voluntary or involuntary part of a mechanism that overcomes them, reveal their greatness or misery in the “minimum” tasks that they perform to survive. From that sometimes morbid poetry of the everyday and the irrefutable truth of the details, we see a country whose social body is sick and injured.

Patchwork is Loly’s story, it’s a village tale, charmingly told through embellished old photographs, embroidery and paint. Her tale is told by an anonymous donor who gave their liver to save the life of a 60 year woman. It begs the question, how much of ourselves needs to be replaced before we start becoming someone else?
