Pin de fartie

A little girl and a blind man staring at a lake that blurs the limits of space. Two actors coming together as lovers to rehearse an old play in a southern country. Two old men living inside a rubbish bin in front of the Congress of that same southern country. A son in perpetual farewell with his aging mother, a blind pianist condemned to play Beethoven’s Moonlight, because it is the only piece she still remembers by heart. Two filmmakers, perhaps responsible for all of the above, shooting trains, moons, and devoting their time to an activity that no one knows if it still exists: cinema.

Trailer

Outrageous comedy lives side-by-side with the addiction drama. But the viewer forgets this amongst the ridiculous and ribald series of jokes and situations that make up the world of the characters. And yet the romantic impulse behind Bionico's quest is hard to shake off even if it appears to be set in a world of squalor and pain. Regardless, each day brings a new opportunity, to make something of yourself, to show the world who you are, or to do drugs all day. The mockumentary format makes these contradictions even more explicit. - Jhon Hernandez
