Cholitas

OBSAH

"Cholitas" is a documentary film that tells a unique expedition. The goal is the top of the highest mountain in America, Mount Aconcagua. The expedition is made up of six Bolivian indigenous women: Dora, Liita, Lydia, Cecilia, Yanina and Elena. His image is surprising: they climb ice walls wearing their traditional skirt in bright colors. They are more than climbers, they are brave women who find in the mountain a space to feel free, happy and alive. The film has the narrative structure of a chronicle. But this is a two-way journey: towards the top of the mountain and into each one of us. In spectacular and grandiose scenarios we will discover the intimacy of deep and endearing characters. The mountain will open our eyes to big questions: nature, life, death. Our protagonists will accompany us in an inner search: human dignity, the value of being a woman, the importance of keeping tradition alive, the harmony behind its way of relating to nature. As Dora, Liita, Lydia, Cecilia, Yanina and Elena approach the top of Aconcagua, the viewer will approach the interior of himself.
