Dragón
The characters in Dragon inhabit Cochabamba's food market, but dream of a 64-bit video game environment. With a texture of documentary realism, with a cast of 100% "qhochalo" non-actors, the film follows a community of video game players who take refuge in virtual meetings to escape the paranoid climate that hangs over the city, where lynchings are the order of the day. The characters, in truth, seek all kinds of escapism (on the screen, but also in alcohol, in dance), and the film accompanies them in a mind-bending montage, an escape into a fantasy newsreel, as disturbing as it is playful.
