Carropasajero

The sound of metal creaks as if it is about to break. An old flatbed truck, adapted to carry passengers, crosses the desert of La Guajira in Colombia. With the wind, voices come that blend among the passengers traveling there. A Wayúu woman returns to her land, accompanied by her family, after years of exile due to a paramilitary massacre. Carropasajero is a cyclical journey where the layers of time in the territory touch and the boundary between the living and the dead blurs. How could you not wake me when my soul was leaving?
