We Were The Ones Who Left (2021)
Starting in 2017 Evgeni followed his grandparents to understand how exile has affected his family. The film is based on interviews with Marta and Alejandro who tell their grandson about what happened during the military coup and how their lives changed drastically. There are interviews with their children who live in Sweden and the family who stayed in Chile and lived through the dictatorship. The documentary is about exile, farewells and reunions about growing old with families in two countries and about love that lasts forever.
