Curatorial note:
When a story is told from the inside, you can tell. And this short film proves just that. La Carcova neither stigmatizes nor victimizes: it shows things as they are. It shows how a neighborhood identity is woven, and who holds it up—and how—with no pretensions and with plenty of conviction.
