Barrio Triste

Barrio Triste is a feature film by Stillz set on the outskirts of Medellín in the late 1980s. Rumors of mysterious lights descending from the sky lead a television journalist to a neglected neighborhood, where a group of local teenagers steals his camera. The camera becomes an unexpected witness to their everyday lives, capturing moments of friendship, violence and survival as boundaries between documentation and fiction blur. The film gradually turns into a poetic portrait of a generation growing up on the margins of history.
