Still Lives

The camera does not move, but the characters do. Still Lives brings us inside the world of drugs and crime. It tells us the story of Enteng on his last day with a gang of drug traffickers. It invades the privacy of different lives. A soap opera, an action movie, a sit-com, and a documentary all rolled into one, Still Lives is experimental and satirical in nature.
