玻利维亚的一个小镇因切·格瓦拉在此逝世而闻名。在切·格瓦拉去世50周年之际，年迈的乡村教师朱莉娅应邀分享她与格瓦拉的故事：她曾在教室里给被包围的格瓦拉送上一碗汤，格瓦拉在生命的最后几个小时里向朱莉娅朗诵了一首关于花的诗。但随后，其他女性站了出来，声称这个“汤”的故事是属于她们的，而“诗”的故事似乎并不存在。庆典之下小镇的问题不断涌现，这背后的真相是什么？该片曾在第23届塔林黑夜电影节的处女座竞赛单元中斩获评审团特别奖。

Time seems to move slowly far out on the cracked, dry land of the Bolivian Altiplano, where an elderly Quechua couple, Virginio and Sisa, carry on a humble routine. When their grandson Clever shows up, Virginio quickly sniffs out that he is there just to convince them to move to the city. The fact that the drought has left them without water doesn’t help their case for staying. All the while, Virginio’s heavy breathing betrays his ability to hide what’s ailing him. Suddenly the slow pace of time becomes precious. Will they follow in the steps of other Quechuas and leave their home for the city?
In his feature debut, Alejandro Loayza Grisi renders a time-honored transition with the magnitude and profundity it deserves. The quest for finite resources like water and time may feel like a familiar tale, but the striking cinematography lensed by the brilliant Barbara Alvarez, along with potent performances, lend the film an extra charge of urgency. Utama is a universal story of epic proportions.
