When the local water conglomerate turns off the water to the residents of Cochabamba, Columbia, the leader of the revolt says they've taken the river, the lakes, the wells, and "even the rain".
This same revolt leader played smartly by Juan Carlos Aduviri, is chosen for a key role in a movie being shot in the area. As the story unfolds, similarities appear between his character and his personal life. The story is as much about his and the transformation of the film crew come from Spain to shot a movie about a Franciscan Priest's revolt against Columbus.
This is a slow-moving, thoughtful story about power and the people as well as the power OF the people. The pace quickens and the story moves along until close to the end. Unlike many movies, most characters here evolve in different directions. It is not just about one key player changing.
