Al cabo del tiempo

Overview

At El Portal, an iconic bar in Guatemala City's historic center, a poet from the generation that nearly changed the country's destiny in the 1970s surrenders to drunkenness and disillusionment, to the rhythm of a cleaning worker's routine. Based on an idea by Sergio Valdés and "In memory of our absent poets," this short film bears witness to the cinematic gaze in the postwar period. Starring Francisco de León and Mario Recinos.
