El Pepe, una vida suprema

As Emir Kusturica stated in an interview for Pagina 12 (Argentina), this is a subjective picture of a unique person. His attachment to the soil, to nature, to his people. His love story with fellow guerrilla member Lucia Topolanski. Their evanescently improbable ascent from tortured prisoners to President and Vice President of their country. In the bargain, the viewer also gets insights and postcards of quirky and trailblazing Uruguay. Its unique music, its humble citizenry.
