Poster do Filme

Sobre o filme

In 1970, after their wedding in Buenos Aires, Ron Havilio and Jacqueline went on a journey to the Andes, with backpacks and still cameras. Crossing Bolivia, on their way to Cuzco, they discovered the city of Potosi, once one of the largest and richest cities in the world. For the millions of indigenous people who were forced to work in the depths of the mountain, Potosi was the gate to hell. After its silver mines were drained, Potosi was left poor and forgotten. 29 years later they return to the same places, this time with their three daughters and a film camera. The road movie documentary is a depiction in the time dimension of Potosi and the Andes, as well as a journey of introspection for the filmmaker and his family. The film won the Humanitarian Award for Outstanding Documentary at the 2007 Hong Kong Film Festival, in China.
