    • Synopsis
    • “Moving so slowly” is a non-fiction film that follows the fate of different characters who, as immersed in a Kafkaesque story, await in queues that seem to have no end in the Department of Immigration in Costa Rica. Students, workers, religious, children, women and men of all ages and backgrounds coexist, unintentionally, in the microcosm of the queue. There everyone becomes equal. Each one of them waits for the time necessary to solve procedures that put their future at stake: jobs, families and their own economy depend on the procedures reaching a good term. While sharing the space required for the row, the characters have daily encounters and travel together through different emotions, from happiness to satiety, caused by the confusing bureaucratic network. Here time, sensations and processes are confused with eternity.
