WHEN THE LIFE TURNS INTO A GAME...
This documentary is the second part of the "Trilogy of Being" a documentary trilogy that would observe the constant struggle of us human beings with the different spheres of reality in which we live, in this case, I take as reference the three spheres of reality proposed by the Neoplatonists: The environment, the Nous and the one.
In this second part of the trilogy, the human being would face the Nous (thought), entering the thoughts, dreams, and fears of two players from the city of Bogotá in their constant battle against themselves, in the idyll of beating the casino.
The investigation of this documentary consisted of two years of immersion work in casinos gambling and meeting players for establishing ties to consolidate the main doc.
The production of the documentary was a week, where we secretly record in the largest casino in Bogotá with the prevailing need to bet to record, more than half of the production money was lost in casinos.
