Director's Statement
I got to know the Molina family while starting a photographic work about the Boca Juniors fans in the «La Boca» neighborhood of Buenos Aires. While photographing the club supporters during the match days some fans took me to a backyard, faked some tickets and took me into the stadium several times. The small courtyard, where we would spend the time before the matches, belongs to the Molina family. On these visits, the desire for creating EN LA BOCA was born.
Soon I built up a close and honest relationship to the Molina family and my initial interest in the soccer fans shifted to the interest in the personal story and destiny of the family. The tragic happenings around the family evolved while and after the filming process and have also changed my personal approach to the making of this film. After the main protagonists death, it was especially important to me to embody the effect corruption has on the «weakest» members of the society and to express the emptiness that arises when one is being swallowed up by this system.
