VIEJO CALAVERA (DARK SKULL)

2016, Bolivia/Qatar

Kiro Russo

Elder has a drinking problem and a reputation as a good-for-nothing. After his father passes away, he moves in with his grandmother who lives in Huanuni. Under the care of his godfather, he takes his dad’s place in the largest tin mine in South America. But does his uncle have something to do with his father’s death? Intoxicating on many levels, the story gradually picks up speed, shedding light on the harsh working conditions deep underground. Kiro Russo’s immersive first feature-length film is as technically sophisticated as it is experimental.

Fünf Bergleute mit Helmen und Scheinwerfern stehen in einem dunklen Tunnel. Einige tragen Schutzkleidung und Gesichtsmasken, ihre Gesichter werden von den Lichtern in der schummrigen Umgebung beleuchtet.
