Babel is not just a bar and concert venue in Cali, Colombia, but also a place between life and death. There, lost souls play for a few extra years of life with the attractive and mysterious La Flaca, the personification of death. The director creates a tropical, colorful, cool and queer universe in which the lives of a young mother of a sick daughter, a former soldier, a drug-addicted artist and a preacher's kid before his first drag performance intersect.
In a kind of magical realism, she mixes Dante's medieval visions of the afterlife, pop-cultural references and fragments of ethnically and socially diverse, tense Colombian realities with relish and surprise.
A cooperation with the Cinescuela Filmtage in the original Spanish with German subtitles. All information and the ticket link can be found at: www.linktr.ee/pinkmovieclub
