Vest Made of Money

In this Aymara folktale about greed and betrayal, Satuco sells his possessions and hides the cash in his vest. In the process, he turns his back on his wife and his community.

Confronting the signs of his own death, Satuco must make his final decision, will he trust his community again or will he entrust his secret to his treacherous friend Cihuacollo?

This short fiction film features the work of non-professional actors and the music of the Villa Santiago II Cultural Center.
