Los actores del conflicto

Los actores del conflicto

A trio of actors and theater mimes - made up of two Colombian boys and a young Venezuelan girlfriend of one of them - are commissioned by a supposed theater patron to keep boxes of books for him while his absence from Colombia lasts for three months. Shortly after the patron's trip - the three actors learn that he has been imprisoned in Europe for laundering dollars in addition to other drug trafficking offenses - and that he will be sentenced to several years in prison. The three actors¸ then¸ decide to open the boxes that they have kept for the man¸ assuming they will find dollars or cocaine. But what they find are very sophisticated weapons¸. Harassed by the economic situation¸ they make the crazy decision to pretend that they are guerrillas who want to reinsert themselves and hand over their weapons. To do this¸ they travel to a conflict zone and from there they contact the Office of the High Commissioner for Peace. The only thing they ask in exchange for their "reintegration" ¸ is a safe-conduct to seek asylum in Spain and start a new life there. To achieve this goal¸ the three friends would also solve¸ their old dream of going to venture to the "mother country." Obviously¸ this mischief puts them to face hazardous situations with the actors of the armed conflict in Colombia: the army¸ the paramilitaries¸ the guerrillas and the drug traffickers. As the girl is Venezuelan¸ and the relations between Colombia and that country go through moments of tension due to the supposed "alliances" between President Chavez and the Colombian guerrilla¸ the vicissitudes of the three young men are further aggravated. If this objective was achieved¸ the three friends would solve¸ also¸ their old dream of going to venture to the "mother country".
