La Casa mas del Mundo


Durante el festival de Biarritz América Latina hemos conocido a la directora Ana.V Borjóquez que nos presentó su nueva pélicula que se titula «La casa más grande del mundo».
La historia transcurre en Guatemala y las protagonistas son tres: una abuela muy autoritaria, su hija embarazada que cuida del rebaño de ovejas familiar y la nieta que ayuda a su madre.
En Latinamérica, en muchas péliculas, no tienen el mismo concepto ni la misma percepción del tiempo. Para nosotros, franceses, esta película hubiera podido durar apenas diez minutos por lo cual, para algunas personas, habrá podido parecer un poco larga.
Rocío es una niña que vive en las montañas del altiplano en Guatemala. Cuando su madre empieza a sentir las contracciones que anuncian un parto adelantado, la niña se encuentra a punto de vivir la aventura de su vida. Debe hacerse cargo del rebaño de ovejas y llevarlo ella sola por los pastos montañosos. Rocío es muy joven para esta tarea y cuando va en busca de una oveja perdida, el resto del rebaño se le escapa. Pero antes de que esto suceda, ha estado un rato con su amiga que también tiene un rebaño de ovejas. Pero su amiga regresa a su casa y Rocío se queda sola y debe encontrar la forma de hacer frente a sus peores miedos, de superar el reto y encontrar sus ovejas.
Esta película nos muestra cómo es la vida en las montañas de Guatemala, que no es fácil, y cómo son las relaciones familiares, que son muy especiales, no hay mucha complicidad entre madre e hija. Algunos momentos de la película son muy emotivos : la expresión del rostro de la muchacha y la situación de la niña cuando pierde el cordero o lo encuentra muerto por su culpa. A pesar de que es una película muy larga y lenta, está bien para aprender cosas sobre Guatemala y las condiciones de vida de los habitantes del altiplano. Sus vidas son muy diferentes de las nuestras.

Dream on the Beach


Crawling like a worm over bleached white bones
Trying to reach a dream long gone
So close yet so far away
What is this whisper telling me there is no hope?

Yet still, the dream, it rules me
Blinded by this burning light with none around
Hating my reward, blooding my sustenance
The water gently touching my fingers; there is no escaping it

Yet stil, the dream, it rules me
A ship closing the distance
It then fades away like paper; is there still a chance?

Yet still, the dream, it rules me
Numbness is seizing my mind, under this blazing sun
This ever so distant utopia, should I let it go?

Spencer Stone



The hero we chose is Spencer Stone, he is 23 years old and he is from sacremento. He is a member of the army more precisely the air force. We have chosen this man since he achieved great deeds. He was in the Thalys when the terrorist attack occured. With the other soldiers, they decided to fight back and they succceeded , moreover he saved a victim who was bleeding by putting his fingers on the artery, then he waited until the emergency came. Therefore he protected a woman being harassed by a group of men, at the cost of his own life, since he got stabbed, fortunatly he survived.  
That's why we think this man is a REAL hero, he saved people by risking his own life several times.
