Chile/Costa Rica, Comedy, 2009
85 min, HDV, Color

Tercer mundo tells the stories of Juan, Amaya and Richi, all struggling to make sense of their ordinary, monotonous lives. For them, the solution to their problems lies somewhere beyond their countries’ borders, in a mysterious solar eclipse. Using humor and irony, Tercer mundo reveals the fantastic side of Latin American youth culture that, despite a struggle to achieve modernity, still preserves magic and mystery. Winner of the Best Central American Narrative Feature, XII Festival de Cine Icaro, 2009.
