Colombia rises and falls, blooded and demented. Patty E. Pattétik becomes Lucia de Lammermoor, the perfect metaphor of a country like Colombia: violence everywhere and nothing really ever happens because everyone forgets very quickly what happened. Maybe oblivion or madness is the best survival method for our species.

The background footage is from the bomb that Pablo Escobar exploded in front of the Centro 93 mall in Bogotá on April 17th 1993, killing more than 200 people.
I was a witness.
