Official Selection Panorama
Nijole
Art and politics, Lithuania and Latin America, irreverent mother and activist son. The one-of-a-kind trajectory of Antanas Mockus, a former candidate for the presidency of Colombia, would have been impossible without the visionary advice of his mother, the nonagenarian artist Nijole Sivickas. Together they embark on an intimate journey of mutual discovery and give us a vital lesson full of courage and vulnerability. They say that the best ideas come from unusual combinations, sometimes disconcerting ones. Creativity could also be passed on through family. Italian director Sandro Bozzolo creates an unclassifiable and inspirational cocktail that takes us on an intimate journey to the depths of their lives. From the present marked by the fragility of their bodies, to the Lithuanian roots that Nijole had to leave behind, we discover two extraordinary vital stories.
