The first fiction feature by Colombian director Nicol\u00e1s Rinc\u00f3n Gille Tantas Almas<\/em> is a harrowing story about memory ripped and regained at any cost, even with illusion. Jos\u00e9, a Colombian fisherman, returns home after his fishing trip. He calls his three children at roll call, but only the girl answers his calls, upset. The paramilitaries have taken Dionisio and Rafael, the brothers. Overwhelmed by grief, Jos\u00e9, aware of the worst, goes in search of their remains along the river to give them a burial, to give peace to the wandering souls of his children. Winner of the Etoile d’Or at the Marrakech Film Festival, Tantas Almas<\/em> is an epic, tragic, solitary, animistic journey of a man who symbolizes a piece of Colombia and the brutal ethnic cleansing suffered during the Colombian civil war between 1998 and 2002 by a populist paramilitary organization Death and Cleanliness. A song of subdued pain, which has its backbone in the Magdalena River, tomb of corpses abandoned in a water from which it is even forbidden to fish for human remains, whole bodies: penalty of death for those caught in the fault. Tantas Almas<\/em> is embodied by Jos\u00e9 Arley de Jes\u00fas Carvallido Lobo, who carries all the strength, despair and courage of an unequal struggle guided by blind love, chance, solidarity, hatred, terror and resignation. A story through images of high emotional and visual maturity: a silence and a soul that never leaves us. A denunciation of the atrocities of war, of men, of destiny.<\/span><\/p>\n Maria Cera<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n After receiving a bachelor\u2019s degree in Economy in Bogot\u00e1, Nicol\u00e1s Rinc\u00f3n Gille studied in Belgium at the INSAS.
