Even the rain (También la lluvia)

In my honest opinion the best movie of 11th Spanish Cinema Week I had a chance to see. If you have a chance to see it, definitely recommended! It's a story about Spanish director Sebastian, movie producer Costa and the crew that came to Bolivia to shoot a motion picture about Columbus. Their plan was to show his first explorations and the way Indians were treated by the Spaniards at the time. Producer, called Costa, has chosen this place because the budget of the film is tight and here he can hire local actors (poor Indians) and shoot extras at very low price. Unfortunately when the movie is almost finished sudden problems arise. The conflict around water sources erupts in Bolivia and the civil war begins. Even worse thing for the movie producers is that the leading activist of the riots is local artist they hired. Things got more and more complicated, but to see how it eventually gone, you should find and watch the movie. In the meantime you can see wonderful landscapes of Bolivia and nice shots of La Paz. Highly recommended!
