00:00I don't know if it feels weird because of what I say, I'm very humble and seeing those people, seeing the cars, I feel like I'm in America.

00:14And you always have the dream of going to Mars, right?

00:17Yes, of course, the dream is to be here.

00:26What did you think of the movie yesterday?

00:28I didn't imagine it, I didn't have it in my mind, it was so beautiful.

00:33It was so beautiful.

00:54My name is Johannes Jiménez, I'm 14 years old.

00:58What do you do in the movie?

01:01I'm the main actor, Elio.

01:04He's a peasant boy, because of hatred he killed his father, and now he's paying for everything.

01:14He doesn't show it, but he does feel it.

01:19We met him in a river, the first time we met him was in a river, right?

01:24And you were in the neighborhood, right?

01:26In the garden.

01:28I wanted a very naturalistic performance, but I wanted to go to unusual places.

01:34The collective imagination of Latin American boys, gang members, bad guys, I don't know how to label them.

01:41Let's say that what happens in Colombia is that in the region where we live, there is no sea, we are in the center.

01:47And almost a dream is always to know the sea, right?

01:50Did you already know it?

01:51No, I didn't go to La Hoja because it was too far away, Cartagena, Santa Marta.

01:56I also knew the sea, I don't know, I don't remember, when I was 18 years old or something like that, when I was 17.

02:03Right now we're going to walk for a while, so you can see.

02:14Where are we going?

02:15Where are we going?

02:24How do you feel?

02:25I'm happy to know this beautiful place.

02:30I'm going to make a dream come true.

02:34Are you going to make a dream come true?

02:35Yes, of course, to know the sea.

02:39How do you think the sea is?

02:41No, well, I'm drinking and it's super.

02:46How do you think it feels, different from the river or what?

02:49Well, it must be the same, it feels different for sure, the waves.

03:01Cool, cool but very salty.

03:12How do you feel?

03:23Andre told us the situation, and we had to assimilate it, but with our own words.

03:30It was cool, we didn't have to learn anything, but to speak with our own words.

03:37What are you talking about?

03:40We are about to show the movie, the first screening, here at the Miramar theater.

03:46I'm waiting for the guys who are coming late.

03:49When I proposed to them, the first time I met him, I told him, look, you're going to be the protagonist,

03:54the main role of this movie, we're going to have a trip together, we don't know how far it's going to take us.

04:00Hello, thank you very much for the opportunity to be here, it has been a very beautiful experience,

04:08the best of our lives, thank you very much.

04:11What I also told them is this, how it is to make a movie, it is to align many things in life,

04:18and maybe that opens up the perspectives for something else, another door, but maybe not,

04:23that there is also an awareness of that.

04:29Thank you very much.

04:46Did you like it?

04:48Yes, thank you.

04:50How does it feel to see yourself in the camera?

04:52Strange, exciting, very exciting, very happy.

04:59What are you afraid of?

05:01The sea.

05:03I'm waiting, I'm waiting for them to tell me when I can get in.
