Synopsis: Mañe is facing a tough economic situation. He’s lost a leg; as a consequence he is unable to find a job, he’s behind on rent, and finds himself at the mercy of bullies. One day he encounters a “silletero,” a man who charges people 500 pesos to carry them around Bogotá… on a chair on his back. A complicated bond forms between them as they both try to come to terms with the past and forge new paths. Nominated by Colombia to the 78th Academy Awards.

A rare opportunity to view the feature film debut of one of Colombia's most celebrated filmmakers.

CineNoche is a film series presented in partnership with Violet Crown Cinema.
