FOCUS ON

COL 03 Between Routine and Chaos

You can feel the energy and the oppressive atmosphere of Bogotá, regardless of where you are: the dreariness of a coffee break during the workday or the hustle and bustle of the big city streets. The everyday lives of the figures are shaken by unexpected events and they need to come to terms with these change. And the tone shifts ever so slightly into criticism of the political arena. The recurring theme is always to overcome obstacles and show perseverance.
