Lena, Vera and Gema still believe it's 1999, the year their parents died in a tragic car accident. Unaware of the meaning of death, they innocently await the return of their parents, maintaining the same childlike mentality and routine for the past 13 years.

Todos los años son 1999

Free-spirited university student Rafaela’s carefree life is shaken when she falls pregnant. Desperate to get an abortion in a country where doing so could land her in jail and unable to fund one illegally, her situation shakes her world. But thankfully, she doesn’t face it alone by virtue of her best friend and sidekick, Gabriela. In her directorial debut, Hyland skilfully captures the incongruity of the inseparable duo’s lives as they move between their fuzzy pink apartment and the rough and raw backstreets of Santiago.
