Metal y melancolia

"Documentarian Heddy Honigmann travels with taxi drivers in Lima & hears their stories. In the early 1990s, in response to Peru's inflationary economy and a government destabilized by corruption and Shining Path terrorism, many middle-class professionals used their own cars to moonlight as taxi drivers in order to weather the financial crisis."
"Metal and melancholy is an unusual road-movie in documentary form. A journey through the art of survival with taxi-drivers of Lima, Peru: teachers, economists, actors, agents of the secret service, housewives -- all of them dreamers, all of them fighters, all of them taxi-drivers -- earning a bit (extra) on their way to possibly a better future."
"Middle class Peruvians forced to drive taxis as a second job to survive in the 1990? are interviewed about their economic situation, loves and life."
"This documentary is an offbeat "road movie" in which acclaimed documentarian Heddy Honigmann travels with, and thereby discovers the stories of, taxi drivers in Lima. In the early 1990s, in response to Peru's inflationary economy and a government destabilized by corruption and Shining Path terrorism, many middle-class professionals used their own cars to moonlight as taxi drivers in order to weather the financial crisis."
