Minuto 200

Orfa is an elderly woman who lives alone in her village home. One day a mailman give her a package sent from her only son, who she hasn't seen in a long time. Inside are a cell phone and a letter in which the son tells her he can't visit her and that she'll have to survive selling the airtime on the cell phone. Orfa resigns herself to waiting for death, convinced that it will come knocking on her door as soon as she has sold the last minute of airtime, loosing her last chance of having company.

Traveling my beautiful country, I found one day an old house almost in ruins with a sign offering cellphone airtime for sale, something very common in Colombia that people do to make a living. It seemed that the house was offering what was left of life and its inhabitants were waiting for the end. Thus arose the story of Minute 200. Two years later I am proud to have the film completed and happy to have met Mercedes (Orfa) and José (Teo) a non-actors who gave a special touch to the story with their patience and nobility.
