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.
