Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Piperno emerged from Uruguay's tiny but fierce experimental film scene, where micro-budget shorts often carry the weight of national identity crises.

Insight

The title references Article 178 of Uruguay's Constitution—domicile inviolability—yet the film stages its exact opposite: a man violating his own sanctuary with an audience.
