Sirwiñakuy
is the story of an obsessive
relationship between a young French woman and an older
Bolivian man. Their unusual romance, like the country
in which they live, is transforming, sometimes violent
and difficult to understand.
Anouk is French, she’s 30, and
in Bolivia.
A massive demonstration is taken place outside the charming
café where she’s talking to a friend.
Luis, Bolivian, 50's, is observing her
terrible table manners. His companion won’t shut
up about his travel ordeals.
When they are both alone, Luis approches Anouk and simply
asks her to go with him. She does.
Luis takes Anouk to her rented room, asks her to pack
her things. She does.
Luis takes Anouk to his house.
Anouk moves in with Luis.
Anouk doesn’t know what to expect.
She doesn’t quite understand why she’s in
an old house full of books, antiques and crumbling walls,
with a man almost twice her age, of whom she doesn’t
even know his name.
When he spanks her, she only gets more curious as to how
far she’s willing to go. |
