The Game of Life

A documentary filmmaker follows five Colombian families for 14 years as they struggle to get ahead in a country where moving forward does not always mean progress. In this uneven playing field, some are born with wild cards, others with marked cards. The documentary explores how one's starting point can influence destiny, but not determine it. With an intimate gaze, it reveals the decisions, frustrations, resilience, and small victories of those who are committed to changing their path, even when the rules are not the same for everyone. Faced with a structure that rewards some and punishes others, these families become a mirror of a country where social mobility is the real game. What happens when chance deals a bad hand, but the will to play remains intact? THE GAME OF LIFE is a story of struggle, dignity, and hope, told from the heart of Colombia.
