We who love each other so much

Four Chilean women, on the verge of maturity and by the shores of a lake, passionately and uninhibitedly recount their personal stories. Lives marked by fire by the socialist experience during Salvador Allende's government and the 1973 military coup, but also by the most intimate imprint of love and pain, disillusionment and compassion. The threads of these biographies are intertwined with the lives of other women – friends, cousins, sisters – raising page by page the dilemmas of submission, infidelity and marriage, work and sex. Critics have said... "Serrano's work is full of phantasmagorical descriptions and the exuberant lyricism that distinguished the works of Carlos Fuentes and Isabel Allende."
