Caldo for the Soul
My wife and I were still in a feverish shock the night of Septmber 11, 2001 when this movie came on the Independent Film Channel.
How engrossing, what film making, and how soul nourishing -- we could finally go to sleep with some hope to cling to.
The main character is a blocked artist who accidentally kills (or injures) a pregnant immigrant running across a highway in order to reach the USA. He cannot escape his guilt and shame and decides to go on a trek to his ancestors' home - Baja California. 'nuf said.
CALDO is the word for SOUP in Spanish - and 'Bajo California' is soup for a weary soul.
PS - who do we lobby to get a DVD of this film?
