The project is the result of a a personal research path around the figure of Antanas Mockus. In 2006, as an Erasmus travelling student of communication and sociology at the Lithuanian University of Kaunas, the author discovered the figure of a philosopher that turned Bogotà into a social experiment by replacing city police with mimes, clowns and actors. In the 2010 Presidential race, Mockus became the reference for a new generation of Colombians. Sandro Bozzolo deeply studied the Mockus’ methodology through his book “Un sindaco fuori del comune”, published by EMI in 2012. However, only after he met NijolÄ— it became clear to him her central role in the personal and artistic education of Antanas. NijolÄ— is a free woman, that makes fun of social conventions and carries out a huge pain. The movie, achieved due to the deep act of trust granted by the Mockus family, is offering a rather simple story, an intimate portrait of two extraordinary characters.
