The 1985 earthquake shook not only the city, leaving behind death and destruction, but also the social order. Faced with the ineffectiveness, passivity and corruption of government authorities, it was civil society that took the reins of the disaster. That image, that of the power of the organized society, reverberated in the psyche of our generation. Faced with the new shock, the natural response of the vast majority of the inhabitants was to go out into the streets. Such was the solidarity shown that the nodes of the disaster were overwhelmed with aid. This documentary captures the essence of this new wound in the history of the city, a date when the earth gave us a new reminder of the fragility of our foundations. "
