Aside (2002)

This is Uruguay, what you see is what you get

Rare images of real life stories in the so-called "asentamientos" in the poor underbelly of Uruguay's capital, Montevideo, and in its youth jails. The difficulties of finding a job and scraping together some money, the temptations of crime and its harsh consequences, the lack of culture and knowledge of the basics of life, are all intertwined in parallel lives.
