Chicago’s Ferris Wheel

(La Rueda de Chicago)

January 1992. Diana is a selfless housewife who, upon discovering her husband’s infidelity, decides to flee and cross the country to attend a Camilo Sesto concert. However, she will have to travel with her mother-in-law, who, although confined to a wheelchair, will be key in initiating a dangerous adventure they didn’t know they were waiting for. The journey, accompanied by a driver with a risky assignment, offers them a week of genuine and true independence, perhaps the last one.

Chicago’s Ferris Wheel is a feature film by César González Álvarez. It is a story built on the codes of a road movie, framed as a dramatic comedy. The project is currently in development and features co-writing by Mario Felipe de la Maza.
