Roa

La historia sucede en Bogotá en los días previos al 9 de abril de 1948. Roa es el clásico agüerista que lo deja todo a la suerte, un pobre diablo sin oficio estable pero con una familia que alimentar. Cansado de buscar trabajo y convencido que ha nacido para cosas grandes, visita a su ídolo Eliecer Gaitán para pedirle trabajo.

Roa

The story takes place in Bogotá in the days leading up to April 9th, 1948, a day in history known as ¨El Bogotazo.¨  Roa is an example of a classical superstitious man that leaves everything to chance, a poor man without a stable job but with a family to feed. Tired of looking for work and convinced that he was born for big things, he visits his idol Eliecer Gaitan to ask for work.
