Description / Descripción
Una carga misteriosa de supuestos minerales tóxicos aparece en la planicie andina alertando a la población. El gobierno encarga a un ambicioso capitán de policía la misión secreta de deshacerse de ellos, desentendiéndose luego de su destino. A cargo de un grupo de policías y un maquinista anarquista, el recorrido de rutina se convierte en un viaje errante y trágico. (Film Affinity ES)
With a promotion in the offering and his beautiful wife Nena at his side, things couldn’t be better for ambitious policeman Hector Mariscal. Before he can enjoy the good life, though, a final, top-secret assignment must be carried out: to transport-by rail-a highly toxic cargo across Bolivia’s high desert backcountry and “dispose” of it in a remote indigenous village. With kind engineer Klinger guiding his beloved steam locomotive Federica, and presented with a crew of hapless cops and an unexpected young stowaway, Mariscal finds that there’s much more on the line than he imagined in this sharp, energetic satire. Bolivia’s official entry for Best Foreign Language Film at this year’s Academy Awards®, Julia Vargas-Weise’s third feature is a lively rejoinder to that country’s status as a dumping ground for the world’s industrial waste. Rich in symbolism and in spirit, Sealed Cargo is a terrific ride through the seldom-seen Altiplano and a potent reminder of what really matters. (Pragda)
