BIRDS OF PASSAGE
OPEN AIR KINO ODONIEN
Today Pablo Escobar is as famous as a rock star. But how did it come to pass that Colombia became the center of the international drug trade? Cristina Gallego and Ciro Guerra take us back into the 60s and to the Wayuu tribe living their life according to archaic traditions in the northern part of the country – until the young, ambitious Raphayet has the idea to sell marijuana to US hippies. A decision with consequences. Gallego's and Guerra's follow-up to EL ABRAZO DE LA SERPIENTE is being touted as “THE GODFATHER among native people”. In eye-popping, colorful images, reminiscent of Alejandro Jodorowski's psychedelic extravanganzas or Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns, they tell the a drug cartel story as an ethnic thriller.
