SILVER

SILVER takes us deep into the oldest silver mine in Bolivia. In the silence and darkness of a trembling mountain, we discover the underground world through the eyes of a boy, an old miner and a woman. Where sweat mixes with the blood of history, a story emerges about colonial heritage and the endless cycle of exploitation. The film, as a tribute to memory and strength, encourages us to look into the darkness beneath the surface of consciousness.
