An essay documentary uncovering hidden stories behind mineral cataloging and documents linked to Uruguay’s military dictatorship.

“I received film discards of a documentary. I reviewed various documents related to the Uruguayan military dictatorship. I observe how the bodies of lesbians and transvestites of that time are represented. I became obsessed with the amethyst, a stone extracted from the north of Uruguay, exhibited in a European natural science museum. All the archives are united by one thing in common: cataloging.”

— Director Rocío Llambí
