    • Synopsis
    • Antanas Mockus, once rector of the National University of Colombia, twice Mayor of Bogotá and three times presidential candidate, is proof that it is possible to make politics without corruption. His mother and source of inspiration is the fascinating and mysterious Nijole Sivickas (1925 - 2018), a Colombian sculptress born in Lithuania. With NIJOLE, director Sandro Bozzolo and his team approach both extraordinary characters in their unusual mother-son relationship, in their wonder about what should be remembered and which things are better left forgotten.
