Too Late to Die Young

Too Late to Die Young

A film by Dominga Sotomayor

During the summer of 1990 in Chile, a small group of families lives in an isolated community right below the Andes, building a new world away from the urban excesses, with the emerging the freedom that followed the recent end of the dictatorship.
In this time of change and reckoning,16-year-old Sofía and Lucas, and 10-year-old Clara, neighbors in this dry land, struggle with parents, first loves, and fears, as they prepare a big party for New Year’s Eve. They may live far from the dangers of the city, but not from those of nature.

“Mysterious and absorbing”

- LA Times

“Too Late To Die Young brings memories of an unusual childhood to transfixing life.”

- AVClub

“Too Late to Die Young says just as much about our experiences—our heartbreaks, curiosity and resilience—as it does about this specific chapter in Chile’s history.”

- RogerEbert.com

“One of 2019’s great discoveries… a powerful character study that’s mature and warm, with great intimacy and boundless humanity”

- Criterion Cast

"Sublime! Its human concerns and its aesthetics are universal, transporting us outside of time itself.”

- Battleship pretension.com

“Haunting…an achievement in mood and implication.”

- New York Times
