CHILE
THIRD WORLD [Tercer mundo]

Juan, Amaya and Richi are twenty-somethings struggling to escape their dull lives in their hometowns of Santiago, Chile; La Paz, Bolivia; and San José, Costa Rica. They are certain the solution to their problems lies abroad, beyond their countries' borders. A mysterious solar eclipse, a bizarre amulet and an ancient rumor about the end of the world may provide the radical change they seek. This film weaves together local myths, social reality and science fiction to tell three stories of love and hope that develop under a single Latin American sky. Winner, Best Central American Narrative Feature, XII Festival de Cine Icaro, 2009.
