Julie says: “This one should have been nominated for buried treasure! I loved this!

“Have there been any other Paraguayan movies that our group has seen? There are not a lot of them out there.

“The film had some brilliant cinematography and storytelling moments, as well as giving the viewer a look at a very impoverished Paraguayan social class which makes up a huge percentage of its population. While the story is very realistic for the most part there are some interesting (day)dream like bits scattered within that help tie it all up nicely and
make it a bit more unique.

This trailer does not spoil the movie in my opinion but at least look at the beginning to see some of the beautiful cinematography. The beginning will not give anything away at all.

“Below synopsis from Breaking Glass Pictures in no way spoils the movie either:

“Víctor, a 17-year-old wheelbarrow leader who dreams of becoming famous, is often absorbed by the TV in the appliance store in the Municipal Market. He receives an unusual proposal, to carry 7 boxes of unknown content, in exchange for a torn half of a $ 100 bill. He will get the other half when he finishes the job. Víctor, who has never seen this much money, has no idea how much it really is. But he also knows well that his need is greater than his curiosity. With a borrowed cell phone, the contractor uses to tell him the way, Víctor embarks on the journey. Crossing the eight blocks of the market seemed easy but things get complicated along the way. There is something in those boxes that starts a high-speed wheelbarrow chase in the secret and gloomy corridors of the market. Without even realizing it, Víctor and his pursuers will get involved in a crime of which they know nothing. (Although breaking glass actually wrote ‘anything’ instead of ‘nothing’ as the last word!)… 4.95 cats
