Santiago

Santiago is a documentary about the failure of a film. It was filmed in 1992, but the director could not edit them at the time. In 2005 the director returned to the footage, in search of a reason for the fiasco. Santiago had served as butler in the house where he grew up and was a man of vast culture and a prodigious memory, whose idiosyncrasies left a profound mark on the family\rquote s memories. Reflecting on the past time, the narrator closes in on the film\rquote s secret. Santiago is a film on identity, memory, and the very nature of documentary.
