Yover
Colombia / Color / 14' / 2018
Yover is barely twelve, but he must work. Everyday he rides the streets of the new Bojaya – a village that survived the bloodiest massacre of the war in Colombia – and continues to steal from reality, minutes of fantasy and play, which belong to the world of children. Yover embodies the forgiveness of a past that is revealed through him and the faith to move forward toward a future of simple rewards.
