FRIDAY, 05.05. | 5pm
Votiv Kino, Gr. Saal | TICKETS
Austrian Premiere
In presence of Sophia Haid
In search of a better life, Lilian leaves Guatemala with her four minors and joins a caravan of thousands of people who try to reach the border between Mexico and the United States. Lilian regards this as her best chance to survive the dangerous journey. Compared to the threats in her homeland, the dangers involved in this route seem less severe.
For three months, the filmmakers accompany Lilian and her children on the 5,000-kilometer journey. In times of femicides and reactionary governments in Latin America, Lilian is driven by emancipation and hope as much as by her resistance to patriarchal power structures.
