Краткое содержание
Juan Carlos and his friend Manuel were still teenagers when Catalina Villar first filmed them 18 years ago in Medellin which, at the time, was the most violent city in the world. Soon after, Juan Carlos, the poet, was killed. On the eve of a time of fragile peace, his illiterate parents seek legal compensation. Manuel, who has become the leader of his neighbourhood, is confronted to the paradoxes of urban modernization in a city that has transformed too quickly. The ghost of Juan Carlos rises as a shield against oblivion.
Бето - сторож дома в Мехико, в котором уже несколько лет никто не живет. Он поддерживает в доме чистоту и порядок. Одиночество последних десяти лет, а также однообразие работы формируют его замкнутый образ жизни.

Новость о том, что дом вскоре будет выставлен на продажу ставит Бето перед дилеммой: стоит ли ему оставаться жить в доме или нужно искать способ сохранить его одиночество.

Right in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, Corvo is a large rock, 6km high and 4km long, with the crater of a volcano and a single tiny village of 440 people. Gradually, this small filming crew is accepted by the island’s population as its new inhabitants, two people to add to a civilization almost 500 years old, whose history is hardly discernible, such is the lack of records and written memories.
