Winner of the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay at the Berlin Film Festival, "The Pearl Button" explores the supernatural landscape of Chile. With its 2,670 miles of coastline, this Latin American country is the largest archipelago in the world. In it are volcanoes, mountains, glaciers, and the Patagonian indigenous people. Some say that water has memory. This film shows that it also has a voice.
