Synopsis:

This is the story of Solange, a mother of two small children, who earns her money by looking after the parked cars in the downtown streets of Santiago. She´s 22 years old, she´s cheeky and intense, and she´s paid a high price to insist on sticking with her boyfriend Pato, the father of the kids. Pato steals Solange´s shoes and sells them to get money for crack, he goes in and out of jail and he can´t be trusted, but he makes her smile. And it´s the story of Solange, a beautiful young girl who lives with her family in the hills that surround Valparaiso. She´s a schoolgirl and a good Cueca dancer, and she can´t keep her hands or lips off of Esteban. The urge to be close is all. They meet secretly in the park and they sneak home under the sheets when the parents are out. Time slips like sand between the fingers and the stories evolve. The young girl on the hill finds herself suddenly a mother, only a child herself. The woman on the street shifts between hope and and anger. It´s a thin line between the solid feeling of desire, joy and a meaningful path, and then all the things that threaten the hearts. The dream is simple yet hard to fulfill. To have a roof over the head and a floor under the feet, to have a husband who´s clean, to have a door that can be locked. A poetic and emotional film that celebrates the good things in a life on the very edge.

She´s 22 years old, cheeky and intense. Solange pays a high price for sticking with her boyfriend Pato. Pato steals Solange´s shoes to get money for crack. When he's out of jail, that is.

There's a thin line between solid desire and all the things that threaten the heart: Solange on Love.

They dream of a life, most of us take for granted. The dream is simple but hard to fulfil. To have a roof over one's head and a floor under one's feet. To have a boyfriend who's clean and a door that can be locked at night … Filmed in Chile over the course of a year, this poetic film follows two young women, who carry the same name, Solange. They come from different backgrounds and are at different stages of their lives. But they share common ground in their struggle to be with the one person they love, and to maintain their intimacy under the pressures and challenges from the outside world.
