Alejandro Loayza Grisi - Bolivia - 2022 - 88 minuten - taal: Spanish - ondertiteling: English

Focus Expat Cinema: every Wednesday at 19:00 foreign language films with English subtitles.

A delicate and beautifully shot film with an ominous message.

In the Bolivian highlands, an elderly Quechua couple has been living the same daily life for years. During an uncommonly long drought, they face a dilemma: resist or be defeated by climate change and time itself.

Anyone who hears about climate change will not immediately think of its consequences for life in the Andes mountains. In this sublime, self-written debut, Bolivian director Alejandro Loayza Grisi shows that the consequences are far-reaching there too. His film has a meditative pace, with breathtakingly beautiful images.
