CARACAS AVENUE, 92min., Colombia
Directed by Juana Jimenez del toro
Caracas Avenue tells the story of four children in the 1980s who, rejected by their parents for their sexual orientation, are thrown out onto the streets, where they are sexually exploited by a pedophile and begin to commit crimes and engage in prostitution to survive. They dream of traveling to the United States, and amidst their harsh reality, that dream persists. When they arrive in Bogotá, the American dream ends when they are denied visas. The course of their lives takes a drastic turn, and they end up in Bogotá's red-light district, in the Santafé neighborhood, where they become transvestites. As time passes, their lives take different paths.
