Following the success of Facing the Wind, Meritxell Colell and the Polar Star Films team travel to the north of Argentina and Chile to begin their next adventure,

the preparation of a new feature film: DUO, a road movie through the stunning Andes landscapes of Argentina and Chile.

DUO is the inner journey of two characters and also a contemporary dance show performed in schools and squares of isolated villages. After 24 years of sharing professional and personal life, Monica and Colate commence what will be their last dance tour. In DUO they attempt to maintain the balance when pushed to their physical and emotional limits. At an altitude of 4,000 metres, the Atacama Desert will test the limits of their relationship and their bodies. To the low beat of the chayera drum accompanied by voices from soul and blues, the confrontation of the two worlds ignites the prospect of a wealth of encounters.

DUO is produced by Polar Star Films (Spain), Paraiso Production (France), Pensilvania Films (Argentina) and Manufactura de Películas (Chile), and is supported by ICAA, ICEC, INCAA and IBERMEDIA funding. The project has been developed with Proyecta Ventana Sur, Marche du Films in Cannes, Málaga WIP, Abycine Lanza, and received a dance workshop residency at L’animal a l’esquena.
