(The smell of your absence) is a journey into the lives of three characters living on the margins Bolivian society. It is the story of memory and soul-searching, of three lives in search of redemption in the midst of their own self-destruction. Above all, It is an expression of a forgotten generation in a country that senses itself distanced and in search of its own identity. Deko, member of a punk-destroy group, displays an aggressive temperament that goes against that of his father, While Abad hopes for the betterment of his son`s like, Deko seeks his own self-destruction, Snake never loses hope at acquiring wealth outside of a system that refuses to recognize his existence. Criss hopes to better himself economically in order to support his family while dealing with the absence of his son and a future full of doubt and uncertainty.—Anonymous
