Synopsis
The Mendez family have been living on occupied land in the hills outside Bogotá for 40 years. They can be legally evicted at any time. Every day they walk down to the city to collect scrap materials to sell, and left overs from restaurants to feed their pigs. Dignity and courage combine in a story about the imposibility of progress and the persistence of dreams for this family of scrap merchants.
