Colombia /2020 / 30”

In the Colombian Pacific, the town of San José, next to the Yurumanguí River, is a zone besieged by the conflict. There, Nicolás Gárces invites us to know celebrations, dramatizations, and farewells of those gone, and that take place during Holy Week. With a very personal look and an audiovisual proposal that immerse us in a mystic ambiance through the drums and songs rhythms, the director takes us to experience in a sensory way a people’s fight that, according to their own words, “resists singing and dancing.”
