Play is a movie about a lonely, heartbroken man, Tristan who tries to recover something he has never had; and Cristina, the silent witness to his downfall. Cristina and Tristan both spend their summers living in a hot and polluted Santiago de Chile. However, Cristina takes care of an old man in what she sees is a modest city, while Tristan wanders, heartbroken, in what he sees is a very modern city. Irene doesn’t love Tristan, and Cristina doesn’t love Manuel. This lack of love, when examined under a microscope makes even the smallest things appear larger than life. Play is an urban tale that examines those small things and looks for clues as to what makes us breathe in a city that denies itself. This is the story of a man who searches, and a woman who finds.
