LLUEVE SOBRE BABEL RAINS OVER BABEL
In Cali, a small Colombian town, the eccentric Babel bar also serves as a so called “Purgatory”. Customers come here to bet years off their lives with La Flaca, the embodiment of Death, who sees many tormented souls pass by: Jacob, the son of a homophobic preacher and drag queen; Blank and his talking lizard; and Monet, recently deceased, seeking a second chance before his body decomposes in Hell…
Created by 22 to 27 year-olds team, these queer characters rebel against homophobia, self-hatred, machismo, and dogmatic religion. A retro-futuristic, punk-tropical, and sexy universe, a wild soundtrack, magical realism, and fantasy cinema: the guarantee of a dreamlike cinematic experience!
