    Storyline

    Edit
    Pampa-Terminal is a saltpeter mine located in the Atacama Desert, Northern Chile, as well as being a home for its workers, executives and a few families. There is a chemist's, a theatre for the workers, a bakery, a butcher, and a Chinese man who sells fireworks and balloons that catch fire in the air. There are shops in the main shopping street. There are brothels in the brothel street. Everything is so simple in Pampa-Terminal. There is also a hairdresser's salon run by Alexandre Rivery - it is the place for union meetings. Alexander is an anarchist. In Pampa there are also guesthouses and taverns. It is also exactly like this in all the other mines across the Atacama Desert, which also have their own cemeteries and brass bands, their corrupt cops as well as their honest men and women. However, Pampa-Terminal is the town that the president has to pass through in order to declare the mine an "Official City". It will then be able to be marked on maps. But above all, Pampa-Terminal is the fertile ground for the blossoming of the unique love story between Hirondelle Rivery Del Rosario, a pianist for silent films, and Bello Sandalio, a jazz trumpeter.

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Hubert Toint got involved in the project a decade prior to its eventual production, after co-producing Bernard Rapp's film Pas si grave (2003). Rapp intended to produce the film alongside Didier Creste and Toint, with Bernard Giraudeau, who had written the screenplay, directing, with Marie Gillain already attached as lead actress. Rapp however passed away from lung cancer shortly after and around the same time, Giraudeau was diagnosed with cancer as well, leading the imminent filming to be delayed and Toint to step in as co-director to help him out. The two traveled to Chile to scout locations in September 2008, but with Giraudeau's health deteriorating, they realized he wouldn't be able to travel to direct the film and that Toint would be the only one actually on set. Even as they figured out logistics to be able to communicate on the filming progress in the evenings, Giraudeau passed away in 2010. Toint eventually decided to go at it alone in his directorial debut, with filming finally starting in April 2013, and the finished film dedicated to Giraudeau's memory.
