Bolivia

In "Bolivia," director Israel Adrián Caetano crafts a gritty, realistic drama about Freddy Flores, a Bolivian immigrant who flees his homeland to find work in Argentina. With little more than a job as a grill cook in a seedy Buenos Aires café, Freddy navigates a world of intolerance and poverty, where racism and economic hardship leave him and others feeling trapped. Shot in 16mm black-and-white, the film is a poignant portrayal of urban life on the margins, with a cast of non-professional actors bringing depth and nuance to their characters.
