Nostalgia for the Light opens with a view of a telescope and images of our moon. The narrator, Patricio Guzmán, describes how he came to love astronomy and begins to remember his childhood where “only the present moment existed.” Soon, Chile became the center of the world as astronomers and scientists flocked to Chile to observe the universe through the thin and clear skies. We next see Guzmán walking in the Atacama Desert, a place with absolutely no moisture, so much so that it resembles the surface of Mars. This desert, and its abundance of history, becomes the focus of the documentary. Because of how dry it is, the desert hosts the untouched remains of fish, mollusks, Indian carvings, and even mummified humans.

The filmmaker has described the film as part of a diptych with Nostalgia for the Light, exploring familiar Guzmán themes such as memory and the historical past, particularly of that of the history's "losers" rather than victors, as it documents the settlement of Chile’s Tierra del Fuego, including some of the last surviving descendants of the original Alacalufe and Yaghan inhabitants.

En 1973, alors que Salvador Allende initie un programme de transformations sociales et politiques visant à enrayer la pauvreté, la droite organise une série de grèves. Quand Allende obtient la majorité des suffrages en mars, la bourgeoisie comprend qu’elle ne peut plus avoir recours à des mécanismes légaux, et c’est le coup d’État.

Le journaliste Jean Dominique, militant avec sa femme Michèle Montas pour une information accessible par Radio Haïti-Inter en Haïti, relate différents épisodes de sa lutte. Le récit direct et honnête qu’il fait, à partir de 1986 à son ami Jonathan Demme et le tournage dans le pays, montrent toute la sympathie et la solidarité que réserve le peuple haïtien à ceux qui prennent réellement son parti, en même temps que le caractère périlleux de la promotion de l’information libre dans le pays. Combattant et exilé, celui qui se faisait appeler l’agronome, en fonction de sa formation de base, n’a jamais interrompu sa lutte jusqu’à son assassinat en 2000.

Comme son titre l'indique le film retrace la vie du dictateur Nicolae Ceaușescu. Il s'agit d'archives officielles largement inédites, mises bout à bout retraçant l'ensemble de la carrière de l'homme politique.

Au Chili, quand le soleil se lève, il a dû gravir des collines, des parois, des sommets avant d’atteindre la dernière pierre des Andes. Dans mon pays, la cordillère est partout mais pour les Chiliens, c’est une terre inconnue. Après être allé au nord pour Nostalgie de la lumière et au sud pour Le bouton de nacre, j’ai voulu filmer de près cette immense colonne vertébrale pour en dévoiler les mystères, révélateurs puissants de l'histoire passée et récente du Chili.
