La Paz\u2019s Zona Sur neighborhood is Bolivia\u2019s most exclusive enclave and has housed the country\u2019s affluent elite for generations. Here, in an adobe-tile-roofed castle, a statuesque matriarch reigns over her spoiled offspring and indigenous servants. Social change, however unwelcome, is on its way. As the mother squabbles with her self-indulgent, oversexed teenage son and clashes with her petulant daughter, her 6-year-old boy wanders the rooftops unsupervised. The scent of impending decline permeates the air, and the threat of aristocratic privileges quickly changing hands heralds a new era in a seemingly interminable class war. Bolivia\u2019s official entry for the Academy\u00ae Awards foreign-language film race, this searing portrait of a patrician family in flux eloquently chronicles their final days during a time of intense social change and cogently exposes the bubble of decadence in which they exist.<\/p>\n

El vecindario Zona Sur de la Paz es la zona m\u00e1s exclusiva, habitada por generaciones de la \u00e9lite m\u00e1s rica del pa\u00eds. Aqu\u00ed, en un castillo de tejado de adobe, una matriarca escultural manda sobre sus mimados hijos y sus sirvientes ind\u00edgenas. El cambio social, aunque inoportuno, est\u00e1 llev\u00e1ndose a cabo. Mientras la madre ri\u00f1e con su hijo, autocomplaciente y libidinoso, y discute con su caprichosa hija, su peque\u00f1o de seis a\u00f1os vaga sin vigilancia por las azoteas. El declive inminente se hace sentir y la amenaza de que los privilegios aristocr\u00e1ticos pronto han de cambiar de manos anuncia una nueva era en una guerra aparentemente interminable. Este punzante retrato de una familia aristocr\u00e1tica en transformaci\u00f3n, que es la entrada oficial de Bolivia a la competencia para los Premios de la Academia Cinematogr\u00e1fica por la mejor pel\u00edcula en lengua extranjera, relata sus \u00faltimos d\u00edas en un periodo de intenso cambio social y expone de forma contundente la atm\u00f3sfera de decadencia en la cual vive.<\/p>\n

Presented as part of The Spanish Film Club series with the support of Pragda, and\u00a0the Embassy of Spain in Washington DC, Spain-USA Foundation.\u00a0Special thanks to the Secretary of State for Culture of Spain.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
