Festival de Cine / Film Festival: Zona Sur - Southern District
Monday, March 2, 2015 7:20 PM to 9:00 PM EST
Research Hall, 163
The neighborhood Zona Sur in La Paz is Bolivia’s most exclusive enclave, home to the country’s affluent elite for generations. Here, in an adobe-tile-roofed castle, a statuesque matriarch reigns over her spoiled offspring and indigenous servants. Social change, however unwelcome, is on its way. As the mother squabbles with her self-indulgent, oversexed teenage son and clashes with her petulant daughter, her 6-year-old boy wanders the rooftops unsupervised. The scent of impending decline permeates the air, and the threat of aristocratic privileges quickly changing hands heralds a new era in a seemingly interminable class war. (Description from Pradga Films, one of the sponsors of the festival). Original version with English subtitles. Trailer.
