Film of Julio Hernández Cordón, 2007. My opening to IFF Bratislava. Three teenagers almost permanently on the streets of their neighbourhood somewhere in Guatemala. Most of the movie is dark, dialogues seem random, some of personnages vague, even useless.
The story as I saw it was about three friends wanting to get to the beach. One of them has a car,they steel a gasoline from the cars parked around the neighbourhood. They meet people, ask money from their family members, love airplanes. As they drive to the beach, they watch an airplane flying above them, and dream of being in a cockpit. Including the driver. In the middle of this dream he crashes someone (or something). Their solution is to burn the crashed object (very unclear for me whether it was a person or not...)
In the end they get to the beach. The driver gets the asthma attack while the two others are still sleeping. The film ends with a picture of him hardly breathing knocking on the door of nearby factory to get the electricity for his breathing machine...
Very low-cost movie, the director probably deserves compliments just for making it. But just as I heard a Bratislava film college teacher saying just after the projection: "Our students make better ones..."
Boring.
