Director's statement

When I made _The Great Movement_, I wanted to portray the physical and spiritual exhaustion of contemporary labor. Following a young miner who travels to La Paz seeking work and justice, I explored how the body absorbs social struggle. The city becomes a living organism—dense, suffocating, yet vibrant—contrasting with the vast Andean landscapes. I was interested in blending realism with moments of trance and mysticism, allowing illness to open a space for other forms of knowledge. **The film ultimately suggests** that survival in modern society demands both endurance and imagination, and that beneath economic conflict lies a deeper, almost cosmic search for balance.
