Self-portrait of the “Cali Group”, also known as “Caliwood”, a group of cinephiles who, in the midst of the wild partying and the historical chaos of the 1970s and 80s, was able to produce a body of work that is a fundamental part of Colombia’s film heritage. It is also the medical history of the filmmaker, who fell gravely ill during the production of the film. It’s both the story of a generation and of a survivor.
Una película elocuente y emocionada que cuenta una historia de ese grupo de amigos que desde niños estaban predestinados a formar una familia ejemplar. Vidas y muertes, pasiones y alegrías, tristezas y nostalgias, atrapadas por la cámara de cine. Paralelamente todo transcurre como un cuento de esa generación que abarca desde los años 70 del siglo XX hasta el siglo xxi en sus tres primeros lustros. Generación que vive al rumbo de la rumba colombiana despampanante y desenfadada. Quien la dirigió es el sobreviviente que resucitó para contarlo con generosidad y desparpajo. Un testimonio que agradecemos al salir del sueño de la pantalla cómplice.
