Estela, a young woman from rural Chile, embarks on a journey to Santiago, leaving her family behind to work as a maid for an affluent household.
"Swim to Me (Limpia) is a drama by Chilean filmmaker Dominga Sotomayor (Too Late to Die Young) that explores the subtle yet profound class divisions in Latin America through its premise: a domestic worker (María Paz Grandjean) who cannot care for her own family—or have a life of her own, really—because she must not only clean a wealthy household but also take care of the young child whose parents barely attend to her. The film treats the story like a slowly but surely heating pressure cooker, revealing the systemic injustices and everyday violences that those with power and money exert over those without."
