También la Lluvia

Cochabamba, Bolivia. Año 2000. Sebastián (Gael García Bernal) y Costa (Luis Tosar) se han propuesto hacer una película sobre Cristóbal Colón y el descubrimiento de América. Mientras que Sebastián, el director, pretende desmitificar al personaje presentándolo como un hombre ambicioso y sin escrúpulos; a Costa, el productor, sólo le importa ajustar la película al modesto presupuesto del que disponen; precisamente por eso elige Bolivia, por ser uno de los países más baratos y con mayor población indígena de Hispanoamérica. La película se rueda en Cochabamba, donde la privatización y venta del agua a una multinacional siembra entre la población un malestar tal que hará estallar la tristemente famosa Guerra Boliviana del Agua (abril del año 2000). Quinientos años después del descubrimiento de América, palos y piedras se enfrentan de nuevo al acero y la pólvora de un ejército moderno. Pero esta vez no se lucha por el oro, sino por el más imprescindible de los elementos vitales: el agua.

Even the Rain

Spanish director Sebastián, his executive producer Costa and all his crew are in Bolivia, in the Cochabamba area, to shoot a motion picture about Christopher Columbus, his first explorations and the way the Spaniards treated the Indians at the time. Costa has chosen this place because the budget of the film is tight and here he can hire supernumeraries, local actors and extras on the cheap. Things go more or less smoothly until a conflict erupts over the privatization of the water supply. The trouble is that one of the local actors, is a leading activist in the protest movement.
