Filmed in Spanish and Quechua, the film stars newcomer Jesus Luque Colque.
Pioneros ProduccionesWe wanted to insert the character into the festivities that take place in February in honor of the Virgin of Candelaria, which wasn't easy. We had to film them over the course of three different years. Every year, people pay homage to the Virgin. In this Candelaria festival in Puno, people are very focused on drinking alcohol, dancing, having fun and they don't want to be bothered with anything that interferes with their celebrations.
We wanted to contrast the festivities to Elisban's loneliness. There are days when he is surrounded by thousands of people, but nobody is his friend, nobody helps him and he needs help. We had several setbacks. We started working on the story in 2010 and started making the film with our funds in 2013. We had shot about 10%, when the main actor won a scholarship to study medicine and quit. We had to start over. It took us another three years to find another actor to replace him.
Yes. I have been working with my brothers since my very first short films. They do the photography, sound and the editing. We have coalesced little by little. Sometimes we argue, but we make up five minutes later and keep working. Our differences are of ideas and opinions, not on a personal level. So everything flows because we have a shared vision. They are also the ones that keep me in check. Sometimes they are the ones that keep me from making a fool of myself.
We only strive for a job well done and hope the movie will be seen. We are already quite happy to have finished it after so many challenges and years in the making. For us, the purpose of making films is to touch the human soul. At least, that's the kind of cinematographic work we want to do and aim to continue making.
