Ya no somos amigos

Friendship and power are a matter of energy. The panchayat is an assembly of five people. A council that, in some parts of India, still dictates the rules of daily life. The smallest form of government. What if the world was actually made up of little panchayats that build our hierarchies? Vikram is obsessed with his caste and making money. Batasema is a Congolese who wants to subvert the capitalist order. Amani is called to join the great political dynasty of Pakistan. Tiffany triumphs in Hollywood with her scripts inspired by India. Omar is a hustler proud of having grown up in El Prat de Llobregat. They have met at different times in chaotic Delhi and have become friends, although all five have never met at the same time. They form their particular panchayat, a carnival of genders, cultures and ideologies with their own laws and loyalties, a panchayat that now has to exercise its power of decision. The appointment is Holi, the Hindu festival of colors. The time has come to meet.
