Built in the XIX century by German peasants, today it has become a prosperous German theme park for tourists. Maria, a Venezuelan woman in her late thirties, lives in Colonia's Tovar garbage dump. Separated from her daughter, Joana, Maria survives collecting cans and bottles surrounded by hordes of abandoned dogs. This film is her story, her struggle for survival and to get back Joana. A story of neglect and innocence: Maria's, Joana's, but also that of the first German settlers who dreamt of a paradise in this New World. Written by George Walker Torres See less
