Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths

Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths is an epic and visually stunning drama/comedy, directed by five-time Academy Award®-winner Alejandro G. Iñárritu, which follows the moving journey of a renowned Mexican journalist. This immersive experience is set against the intimate and moving journey of Silverio Daniel Giménez Cacho, a renowned Mexican journalist and famous documentary filmmaker living in Los Angeles. After being named the recipient of a prestigious international award, Silverio is compelled to return to his native country. He is unaware that this simple trip will push him to an existential limit. The folly of his memories and fears have decided to pierce through to the present, filling his everyday life with a sense of bewilderment and wonder. With both emotion and abundant laughter, Silverio grapples with universal yet intimate questions about identity, success, mortality, the history of Mexico and the deeply emotional familial bonds he shares with his wife and children. Indeed, what it means to be human in these very peculiar times.
