La Vida es un Tango
(Life is a Tango)

by Catalina Florez / Documentary / 2008 / 60' / spanish / Germany

Article 13: All people are free and equal in law...
“We work, but for them we are beggars anyway” (José, 44)
“I worked since I was twelve” (Ernesto, 16)
“We Columbians have to learn to seize our opportunities” (Lisideth, 18)
“They wanted to kill me. I had to flee to Cartagena” (Arnulfo, 45)
“What I would change in my life? Everything.” (Lucía, 37)
“I survive...and have no fear of nothing and nobody”(Eddy, 50)

...and the government provides for abidance by these laws.

A film about the daily struggle at Plaza Santo Domingo.
About the lost faith in Colombia.
And about the strength to preserve the lust for life.
