Fiction

Petrona is a hybrid feature film project, incorporating documentary and fiction elements. The film interweaves the parallel story of two Bolivians from different social classes who have lived in Barcelona for more than 20 years, arriving with the immigrant wave of the early 2000s. They will both travel back to Bolivia, only to realize that their journey away has made the very idea of home unrecognizable.
The two storylines interplay to highlight the idea of hopes and dreams versus the reality of emigration through the lens of family drama.
