| Sumario: | Missing (2023) tells the story of young American June and her tireless search for her mother, who has disappeared in Colombia. Financially strapped, she receives help from a Colombian man named Javi. This character not only becomes June’s arms and legs in Colombia, but also the key to solving the crime. He also provides moral support to the young woman, who takes refuge in her conversations with Javi as a way of coping with what is happening to her. A North-South, South-North relationship is established, in which stereotypes and clichés associated with both the so-called First World and the well-known Third World are broken down. Missing shows that similar situations can occur in both the North and the South, and that human warmth can be found everywhere. |
