La Laguna del Soldado

FromPablo Álvarez-Mesa

Year2024

Duration76min.

LanguageSpanish

“There is a lot of pain in these mountains.” Thick fog hangs over the Colombian pàramo. Drops of water roll off the frailejones. Following in the footsteps of Simón Bolívar, Pablo Alvarez Mesa ventures into the high-altitude marshland and traces the journey of the liberator.

The history of the land and the stories inscribed in this Andean landscape tell of the 200 soldiers who lie buried here and whose spirits nourish the water sources.

Dealing with Colombia's colonial past and present, LA LAGUNA DEL SOLDADO is a poetic essay that traces the ghosts that haunt this historically contested area, which is so important for the ecological balance.
