Peru has a population of 28 million people, of which only 140,000 pay taxes. The rest constitutes an immense black market outside of the realm of the law, which operates under its own rules. The quintessential character within the black market is the taxi driver, who only requires a taxi sticker in his windshield to be in business! In such context, Chicha tu Madre is a dramatic comedy that revolves around a unique cab driver and aspiring Tarot reader.
Chicha tu Madre is an intimate film that inquires into the nature of the human condition and the flexibility of moral parameters, when one must create the opportunities to survive in an adverse world on a day to day basis. |
