45th International Film Festival Cannes

This film shows how three inmates, during a leave of absence, discover their solidarity with each other. They thus find hope in their ability to take charge of their situation.

Through an initiatory journey from the south to the north of Latin America, Solanas paints a vast political fresco, full of symbols and metaphors. A denunciatory film, "El Viaje" is a call for more justice anchored in a real search for identity. (Photo: © trigon-film)

Told simply with modesty but with a great sensiblity, this is the story of an encounter and a conversion. A representative of the law and two children rejected by an egoistic and hypocritical society journey together across Italy. During the trip, they discover trust and love and become creators of hope.
