Sergio Valdes Pedroni

A story about cultural management, misadventures of several individuals, within Cargam, the parcel delivery company.

Tomacorriente, by Sergio Valdés Pedroni, is a history of urban rock in Guatemala; an audio and visual journey through five decades (1973–2023) of rebellion, influences, abuses, and artistic creation. The film begins as a tribute to Marco Antonio Luna, founder of the group Cuerpo y Alma, and becomes a polyphonic, independent feature film that revisits the clichés of national rock from the margins. It is a raw and honest tribute to the creative impulse of young people who found a way to express themselves through rock music.

Death arrives in a small town in the south of Guatemala City, with the mission of taking three people with her: a boy lost in a hill, a young woman adrift, and an old writer who always dreamed of being a filmmaker. An essay that presents three short stories about Death and how living in this world makes her more human.
