Carried by a song, images and fragments of narration intertwine. Simulacrum, magical or religious ritual, ritual of death or rite of passage, nothing is explicit in the action that deploys amongst the characters, between the extreme proximity and, at the same time, the absolute distance expressed by the gestures and bodies.

Nobody Special |
Nadie especial |
|
Juan Alejandro Raminez
Peru
2013 | 00:23:00
A woman fights a losing battle: one can't be poor and still want to stay among the familiar everyday. Born and raised, only to watch with confusion and rage her surroundings become deserted, transfomed to bleak places. Rear children disperse to faraway, to ugly cities. Told with great lyricism, Nadie Especial is about anyplace where the cards will always seem to be stacked against the powerless. On he same time it's about resolve, showing the challenge of a perhaps inevitable fate of hoping to restore the pieces of a long-eroded dignity. Even if that decision caused isolation.
