Sinopsis / Synopsis:

The film shows numerous choletts of the Bolivian civil engineer, architect and founder of neo-Andean
architecture Freddy Mamani Silvestre.
The civil engineer and architect Freddy Mamani Silvestre (*1971), has designed more than 60 building
projects in the Bolivian city of El Alto since 2008, which mock the norms of a formulaic modern
architecture shaped and enforced with global aspirations by the Bauhaus.
Mamani comes from a humble background and belongs to the Aymara people. His self-taught
architecture is a counter-utopia that grew out of local usages and opens up a view of preferences
other than sparseness and global stylistic adherence.
