THE PARTY, 24min., Brazil

The dramatic situation revolves around the preparations for the parents' wedding anniversary. In an atmosphere that blends comedy, melancholy, suggestive silences, and mundane phrases filled with double meanings, they react in various ways to the celebration of the marriage.

Directed by Pablo Mardones Charlone, Javier Astudillo
Through the wandering, life and work of women in the Andean Triple-Border (Bolivia, Chile and Peru), and the Paraná Triple-Border (Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay) we know a story of female invisibility and vulnerability. Through a voice-over that personifies them, we understand that, despite precarious working conditions, the tasks of caring for and maintaining the family have always rested on them.
