Synopsis
An imaginary film, an impossible romance. The story of Efraín and Alicia comes to life from surviving images from pre-synchronous-sound Colombian cinema. The young director Jerónimo Atehortúa joins forces with the late and legendary Luis Ospina, in his last project, to make a peculiar “fiction” film that ingeniously reimagines and articulates testimonies and images from the early 20th century. On this frenzied journey through Colombia and its cinema, the filmmakers invite you to remember, to dream, and to open the Archives. (G.B.)
