It was my favorite short at this years Berlinale and I remember the vibes after the screening in the audience.

But around the story I saw few days ago a short documentary about the bad water situation in Mexico and the big buisness around selling regular water who poor people can't buy. Companys like Coca Cola, Danone, Pepsico or Nestle dominate the water marked in Mexico.
People who living in poor areas, didn't have fresh water, so they get the Water from a Boy like in that short.

Well, thats a bit about the background story who you didn't see in that short.

Anyway, I like that one and it's nice to have no a way to see it again. Thanks to Ghost.

Nasuada -- those companies also dominate the bottled water market in the U.S., although usually here in most locations it is an alternate water choice rather than a critical source for clean water. What I can not fathom is that Pepsi and Coke also use water in their carbonated products, yet they omit the sugar and sell just the water for MORE than the sodie pop costs.

Thanks, ghost! I did what I never do: I watched a film immediately after download. I liked the attitude of the older brother toward... everything, but especially toward his younger brother.

Screenshot is an actual SPOILER, only for those who have seen it.

I know "agua" is water, but Google translate says "cuario" means "leathery". ??!?? "Leathery water"? I don't get it. What does the title really mean? All the search results point only to this film.

In Germany they try it to, to sell Water in Bottles but I think it's a bit harder here, because in Germany we have very strong regulations for Water who is delivered to our homes.
And if I see on some tourist spots or lot of special shops like a Bakery, a Newsstand or a Takeaway, the prices for a tiny bottle of water will be near 3€ for 0,5 Liter. I'm always shocked about that high prices for water in Germany. It's cheaper to visit a toilet and pay a small fee for using it (yep, in Germany you need to pay at the most places for using a toilet) and drink some there from the faucet.

Damn, and thank goodness they say that Italy is the most expensive country in Europe When I go to the minimarket I buy a 1-liter bottle of water for €2.70, then it depends on the type of water because there are some that cost double at €3.

Well, I can appreciate that there's a fee to use the toilet in any country. It hopefully helps the overall condition of the unit, help it stay clean and more well maintained. And it seems there's no qualms drinking the water from its faucets!

Bottled water in my area can still be had for pretty cheap, particularly in the grocery stores and larger marketplaces, but in small gas stations and mini-marts, you'll have to pay that extra bit.

Thanks for this short ghost, and I appreciate reading your positive review, Nasuada.
