Matilde is eight years old. She lives in Santiago, Chile, with her mother and her grandfather. No one knows where her father is, and more people she knows keep disappearing. But outside of her house, Matilde can’t tell anyone that her father is missing. Not even her best friend.

A poignant story of life under the Pinochet dictatorship from a child’s perspective, Matilde explores difficult subjects in language that is simple, yet deeply affecting.
