Even the Rain

“Many want to change the world... Few want to change themselves.”

In Cochabamba, Bolivia, a film crew sets up to shoot a costume drama about Christopher Columbus, with more than 4,000 extras. Producer Costa (Luis Tosar) is there to keep the budget small, while director Sebastián (Gael García Bernal) wants every scene to carry the weight of the conquest. When the town rises against the plan to privatize its water, Daniel (Juan Carlos Aduviri), cast as the rebel Hatuey, stands between them and the crowds.
