The Most Beautiful of My Very Best Years / Lo más bonito y mis mejores años
Series: LatinBeat [Sept. 7 – 18, 2007]
Director: Martín Boulocq, Release: 2006, Runtime: 93

Berto lives in the small Bolivian city of Cochabamba. He wants to leave the country, but without money for a ticket, he decides to sell his prized possession––a 1965 Volkswagen he inherited from his grandfather––with the help of his know-it-all best friend Victor and Camila, Victor's girlfriend.

Delightfully understated but with great attention to detail, Boulocq’s film is an urban Bolivian fable with a love square at its center––two men, a woman and their car. Its skillfully fractured structure is a counterpoint to the parsimonious rhythm of the friends’ lives and of the city that comes to define them.

co-production: Bolivia/US
