The Car

When the Velezes agree to buy a used Chevrolet Bel-Air from their neighbors, who've recently won a brand-new car in a school raffle, they're thrilled about the prospect of leaving Bogotá's public transportation system behind.

Colombian director Luis Orjuela helms this hilarious look at the pitfalls of automobile ownership.
