00:00I gave it all to the strength of a very young girl.
00:02And your father at that moment?
00:03My father at that moment was no longer in Chile.
00:05My father left when I was nine.
00:07Where did he go?
00:08To the world.
00:10My father was Salvadoran.
00:12My father lived the Salvadoran guerrilla,
00:14which is something very violent, very, very strong.
00:17His mother died and he came to Chile for that.
00:20Escaping from the guerrilla, from the slaughter.
00:22He hated the military for what he had lived.
00:25He was not synonymous with the right or the left.
00:28He had a trauma with the military.
00:29Of course.
00:30And then when Chile became militarized,
00:33he decided to leave the job and go.
00:37Do you remember when you said goodbye to your father?
00:39No.
00:41And did that farewell exist or not?
00:42I don't know.
00:48He lived a long time in Paraguay,
00:50because there is no militia in Paraguay.
00:52He called me once a week on the phone.
00:55And from there he returned to Chile when I was about 15,
00:58because he turned around in a car in Paraguay
01:00and said, I'm going to die in Chile.
01:02And here he came to operate and everything.
01:04There was something in his head, like a mega-coagulant.
01:08And there my mother tells him, I'll take care of you.
01:11I can't believe the story.
01:13And he took care of him for a year and a half,
01:16which for me was crazy.
01:18Imagine for the first time at 15,
01:21that your two old people lived together.
01:24And why did your mother do that, do you think?
01:26In a good way.
01:27Because he was alone, he was bald,
01:31with a cut on his head.
01:33And from there they fought.
01:35And from there I didn't know more about my father.
01:37How? Let's see.
01:38Oh yes.
01:39They fought, I never knew.
01:41I mean, sorry, they lived that year and a half
01:43that your mother took care of your father.
01:44Yes.
01:45Like they started to be a traditional family,
01:46to put it in a good way.
01:47Sure, but it was never traditional.
01:48It was very, very, very bizarre and very strange.
01:51We moved out of the house,
01:53because my father was a very organized man.
01:55They were there for a year and a half,
01:56we traveled to Santiago,
01:57and when I came back, my father had left.
01:59And my mother says, yes, we fought and your father left.
02:02Reggio.
02:04That was the conversation.
02:05Did you say goodbye to him?
02:07No, nothing.
02:08And from there I always tried to get together with him,
02:10but he got mad at me and my mother.
02:12Like, he closed this, you know?
02:15And for many years I did like an eternal pilgrimage,
02:20where I went through all the emotions you can imagine,
02:23hate him, love him, need to be with him,
02:27look for the paternal figure, idolize him.
02:32I idolized him, because I gave myself an image
02:34that I never knew was so real.
02:38And at 28, my brother, who passed away, Carlos,
02:43helped me get together with him.
02:45Tell me what I'm going to show you.
02:47What are you going to show me?
02:49My hair is standing up.
02:50What are you going to show me?
02:52Oh, how heavy.
02:56There is your father.
02:58With the king, with the prince.
03:00With Prince Felipe.
03:01Felipe.
03:02There he is.
03:03With the king, with the prince.
03:05With Prince Felipe.
03:06Felipe.
03:07There he was ambassador of ...
03:09No, he was not an ambassador.
03:11It's another word, governor.
03:12Norman Cruz Barrios.
03:14Yes, governor of Arica.
03:16It says, journalist, lawyer, notary, conservative,
03:20football player of the Catholic University,
03:22writer, poet, novelist,
03:25former governor of Arica,
03:27teacher, lover of romantic classics,
03:29restless and cosmopolitan,
03:32Norman Cruz represents the Central American effervescence
03:36established in the city, in the quiet of Chile.
03:40And there is something very beautiful here,
03:42look, let me see if I get it.
03:44Ingrid is 5 years old and is a treasure of beauty.
03:47She is the youngest of the women who have dominated my life.
03:50She is Antofagastina and she is my daughter.
03:55What do you say?
03:56At 5 years old, I was already dominating.
03:59What happens to you when you see these words that your father wrote?
04:03They impact me, they shake me.
04:06I saw that in an interview he dedicated words to me.
04:11It was like, because if you open it, it says Ingrid.
04:15Do you understand?
04:16It's beautiful.
04:17In addition, you can show it to my daughter too.
04:20Like having a legacy.
04:21Do you understand?
04:22You don't have your father, in quotation marks,
04:25you have it, but you don't have it for 9 years.
04:28Then he leaves, then he comes back at 15.
04:32After a year and a half, you lose him again.
04:35I mean, not even a TV series script is so powerful.
04:38No, and also with everything, calling him,
04:41and he faced saying, I don't want to talk to her.
04:44And they hung up on me.
04:46Why?
04:47Girls, go crazy.
04:48If all these heads are like that,
04:50they have an important level of madness.
04:53And there came the hatred.
04:55I hated him.
04:56I hated him for months.
04:58Then I needed him, and I looked for him again.
05:00And so I took her, until at 28,
05:03my brother managed to get me together with him.
05:05And it was shocking.
05:06I was already in bed, I was very old,
05:09and with a little senile dementia,
05:12but I kept writing.
05:14He makes me enter his room,
05:17and he calls me little girl,
05:19because that's what he called me,
05:21because my name was Ingrid Elena.
05:22And I felt like a five-year-old girl.
05:25I started to cry,
05:27but from the viscera, I cried, cried, cried.
05:31And the beautiful memories I have
05:33is that on the edge of the bed,
05:35just like I have the photos of my daughter,
05:37I had a photo of me taken from the TV.
05:40And it was on TV.
05:48We would have been together a few more times,
05:51and then he decided he didn't want anymore.
05:54Again?
05:56But then I understood.
05:58Finally, I found the father I was looking for.
06:01I was already in another one, too.
06:05And it was like, I did it.
06:06You can't demand love.
06:09Of any kind.
06:10I wanted to be alone.
06:12But I already understood that he wasn't with me,
06:15that he didn't hate me,
06:16that he wasn't angry with me,
06:18that it was his head, that it was his demons.
06:20How long ago did your father die?
06:22In 2006.
06:24I was pregnant with Emilia.
06:26We kept writing the film.
06:29I was pregnant with Emilia.
06:30I was about three months pregnant.
06:32And how did you find out?
06:33My brother Carlos called me.
06:35What did you feel?
06:37Tan-tan.
06:40That's what I heard in my head.
06:43Tan-tan.
06:45It's over.
06:46That's how the story ends.
06:49Tan-tan.
06:50That's what I heard in my head.
06:51Tan-tan.
06:53It's over.
06:54That was the end.
06:56I couldn't believe it.
06:57That's how it ends.
06:59That was the end of the story.
07:05Do you have anything pending?
07:10I don't think so.
07:12And I appreciate and treasure
07:14the minutes I had.
07:16I have a paternal presence.
07:18And I honor it, just like my mother.
07:20They gave me life.
07:22You can't change what she was.
07:24Did your mother become a couple?
07:26Yes, many times.
07:27I mean, several times, not many.
07:29And did you live with her partners?
07:31No.
07:32Never?
07:33No, she never lived with her partners.
07:34I could tell you two or three,
07:36no more than that.
07:37Did you have a relationship with anyone,
07:39as a stepfather,
07:40someone who assumed the paternal role?
07:42No.
07:43No, she never had a stepfather.
07:44No, my sister was the one
07:46who always took care of me.
07:48And then they switched roles
07:50and I took care of her.
07:52Because I was more messy than she was,
07:54so I pushed her to do things.
07:56But she was the one who took care of me the most.
