En algún lugar del cielo is an autobiographical documentary about the director's personal experiences after the coup d'état on September 11, 1973 in Chile. She and her mother went into exile in the former GDR. While her father, the journalist Augusto Carmona, a militant of the MIR, remained in Chile in hiding until 1977 when he was murdered by the CNI. Based on these two events, the documentary reconstructs the story of those who stayed in Chile fighting to overthrow the dictatorship and of those who went into exile and suffered uprooting.
