Winner of the World Cinema Dramatic competition at Sundance Film Festival, writer-director Alejandro Loayza Grisi charts the daily rituals of an elderly couple living in a remote area of Bolivia.
Director: Alejandro Loayza Grisi
Overview
Two exceptional performances from real-life couple José Calcina and Luisa Quispe as Virginio and Sisa, living in a remote area of Bolivia and navigating possible changes to their way of life, distinguish this quiet and beautifully observed film. Winner of the World Dramatic prize at Sundance Film Festival, writer-director Alejandro Loayza Grisi charts the couple’s daily rituals and the environmental challenges they face, with a keen attention to the dynamics of a place facing an existential threat. Their neighbours have moved away and although they are increasingly isolated, Virginio and Sisa are determined to remain in the place they have always called home, whatever the consequences. Elements of magical realism provide a sense of mystery, while nature grounds their lives in ways that cannot always be explained.
