Storyline

"El Ultimo Año de El Congo Mirador" tells the story how several inhabitants of the small Venezuelan village Congo Mirador are dealing with the gradual disappearance of their village, which is built on stilts in the middle of Lake Maracaibo, Latin America's largest oil field. It is slowly turning into a swamp and neglect and corrosion not only leads to the decay of the village but of the people themselves. But then a long forgotten mythical ship appears in the jungle and restores people's hope.
