The Insomnia Plague (La peste del insomnio)
WarnerMedia Ibero-American Short Film Award
Top Latin American artists unite for a reading of excerpts from Gabriel García Márquez's 100 Years of Solitude, which tells the story of a town that succumbs to a highly contagious plague of sleeplessness and amnesia. The narration is accompanied by apt and current real-world images, drawing parallels between the magical realism of García Márquez's novel and the surreal circumstances we live in.
