Errantes
Errantes is a movie that takes place entirely in one room of a humble hostel in downtown Cali (Colombia). Different people come and stay in this room, looking for a shelter. Gestures, actions, looks, ways of using the space, conversations, sounds, tell us about who they are, about the life they carry on their backs. As people are passing by, the space starts accumulating traces of everyone’s real world.
Every character of this film who enters the room is an episode of the movie. Every episode of the movie. Every episode has its own rythm and dramaturgy : beginning, climax and resolution. The succession of episodes as a whole creates the sensation of this film: the flux, the wandering, the movement.
Thus Errantes is made to let us see something that we cannot perceive in other way: traces of humanity of these passers-by we usually ignore.
