<p><b>Synopsis: </b>Centered around an extensive interview with Jose “Pepe” Mujica, the former President of Uruguay who gained notoriety on the world stage as a rare politician: one that lives according to the ideas and principles he preaches, <em>Delicate
Balance</em> is a contemplative essay on the everyday reality of globalization.</p>
<p>Mujica’s ideas about modern society, where economic interests prevail over human values, are used to connect three stories: A Japanese salaryman in Tokyo, a sub-Saharan community trying to cross the borders into Europe, a family evicted from their own home
in Spain. Three stories intertwined on three different continents.</p>
<p>The words of the President Mujica — a humble, soft-spoken figure who looks like a retired farm laborer rather than a retired politico — structure this clear-sighted documentary about the socio-economic mess we’re making of our world, but it also comes with
suggestions from Mujica about how to change it for the better.</p>
<p>Ultimately<i>, Delicate Balance</i> is a proposal for change, from the particular to the general, that offers a powerful message of optimism for the future. This film is a reflection on the path that the human race is taking, on its habits and its relationship
with the world.</p>
