Stela, a young Brazilian actress, decides to make a work on the letters exchanged between Latin American plastic artists in the 70s and 80s. She travels to Cuba, Mexico, Argentina and Chile looking for her works and testimonies about the reality they lived during the dictatorships that most of these countries faced at the time. In the midst of the investigation, Stela discovers the existence of Ana, a young Brazilian artist who was part of this world, but disappeared. Ana went from southern Brazil, from a small town in the interior to Buenos Aires. Obsessed by the character, Stela decides to find her and find out what happened to her.

During Chilean dictatorship an exceptional group of women emerges and they will leave a unique legacy in history. It's the "Women for Life" movement. Female figures almost forgotten that in times of military dictatorship, when few dared to go out into the street, they organized by calling thousands of women who courageously manage to make art actions and lightning and unprecedented acts for the time.

The artist's voice-over saying "No, I wasn't happy" marks the beginning of the video-recording of this, her first art action, which consisted in the intervention to a traffic sign along a mile, specifically on Manquehue Street, in Santiago de Chile. A fundamental work within the history of 20th century Chilean art.

"Moción de Orden" is one of the video pieces corresponding to a video installation by the artist Lotty Rosenfeld.

Video projection that refers to the various ways in which language operates and its learning as a discipline, in order to achieve a functional and docile individual. Working on it a visuality that puts in scene diverse social subjects, a nudist dancer, a deaf mute, popular Latin American uprisings, the testimony of the mother of a drug addict and the practice of obstetric ultrasounds. The visuality worked on in this piece is insistently intervened by voices that mortify the subject on stage, giving reading to corresponding texts a free version of the Chilean writer Diamela Eltit, based on a fragment of the work Kaspar by Peter Handke.
