El Baño del Papa
(The Pope's Toilet)
Directors: César Charlone, Enrique Fernández
World 2007 Comedy
97 minutes
When they hear that the Pope is coming, the residents of a desperately poor Uruguayan
town are excited: visitors are coming - and they'll have to eat.
The town sets out making food for the pilgrims, but Beto and his enterprising friends
come up with the best idea of all - they'll build a toilet outside their house, and
charge for its use!
"… a truthful, bittersweet film …[strikes] a great balance between sage
commentary and belly laughs…"
