Chircales plot

This documentary shows the life of a family in the suburbs of Bogotá, who make a living from making bricks. The filmmakers worked on this film for six years, building a relationship with the family so that they can provide an intimate glimpse into the lives of poor workers in Colombia. This puts culture and poverty under scrutiny and criticizes inequality in a society.
