When night falls, the Colombian countryside undergoes a transformation. Danger lurks in the dark. Carmen, a peasant woman in her fifties, knows it well. This film finds the right distance to absorb her tale of a tormented life, while drawing the audience into the harsh world of the Colombian peasant through one of its most fascinating aspects: the oral tradition.

Women who talk about men. Women who accidental happen to be prostitutes. The men are their lovers, clients, true love. But also a father, a son, a shopkeeper from around the corner or a passer-by. Un unexpected open and warm look behind the scenes of the bright neon light windows of the prostitute neighbourhood in Brussels. Stories about routine, but also unexpected tenderness, waiting, burning desire and intimacy.

  This whirling dance tape is a visual odyssey from Beirut to Berlin, a woman’s story set in the oppressive civil fragmentation of two divided cities where images of destruction and reconstruction are intermingled. A cutting edge poetic short, that maps out the roots of inner and outer landscapes. Biba Non Biba is a powerful visual and sonic plea for change that is inclusionary not exclusionary.
