The Strategy of the Snail

“No one can take away what we carry inside.”

The tenants of an old house in central Bogotá get word that the owner, a banker, means to throw them all out. They band together under "Perro" Romero (Frank Ramírez), an unlicensed lawyer, and Don Jacinto (Fausto Cabrera), a Spanish anarchist exile, and decide to fight. Sergio Cabrera fills the crowded house with neighbors, arguments and small comic business, and he keeps his eye level with the people in it.
