Santiago García

A photographer view of life and the controversies around him in a little, tropical Colombian town.

August 6, 1956 during the military dictatorship of Rojas Pinilla. A military convoy loaded with dynamite explodes in the center of Cali, destroying a good part of the traditional buildings of the city and exposing the roots of some houses that for years had kept the secret stories of their inhabitants.

Chronicle of life in a typical Colombian village where residents and visitors alike are induced by the soporific climate to lead lives of indolence. Not even the sight of cadavers floating in the river can shock them.

Dramatisation of the massacre which took place in Colombia in 1948, as a result of conflict between conservative and liberal forces, and concentrating on the character of a former cheesemonger-turned professional killer.

The daughter of a humble public official dies unexpectedly. Twelve years later, when she is exhumed, the father discovers her body is intact. With money collected in the town, the father travels to Rome with his daughter's body, so the Pope can decide whether she is the first Colombian saint or not.
