Carropasajero

2024 · 104 min

A slow, haunting journey through desert heat and memory, where the living and the dead share the same dusty road.

Directed by: César Alejandro Jaimes, Juan Pablo Polanco
Genres: Documentary, Drama
Starring: Maria Eugenia Fince, Josefa Fince, Isabel Fince

Overview: The sound of metal creaking as if something is about to break. An old pickup truck adapted to carry passengers crosses the La Guajira desert in Colombia. With the wind come voices that merge among the passengers who travel there. A Wayuu woman returns to her territory, accompanied by her family, after years of exile due to a paramilitary massacre. A cyclical journey where the time layers of the territory touch and the border between the living and the dead is diluted.
