Collita

Collita

"Classes are suspended today. Lidia has to go home to the suburban hillsides."

Extended description.

Collita tries to remember, from a still fresh perspective, an experience of studying in a state school in Bolivia.
Marginalization by the state, the family, and society translates into a loneliness that runs through different spaces, which we do not inhabit, rather we transit.
The return of the city center to the hillsides. The landscape changes and so does the demography.

The main flaw of this short film is to inscribe itself in a tradition so present in Bolivian cinema as the eternal return to the origins. A concept that is incapable of deciphering the complexity of reality, of the different migrations and inevitable transformations.
