Apocalípsur is the story of El Flaco, who runs away to London because of threats against his mother. After a few months he comes back and finds that the city looks the same as when he left: the war continues and the bombs are still exploding. His best friends Caliche and Malala, together with Pipe, a handicapped drug addict, and La Comadreja, a loser, go to pick up El Flaco at the airport in their “Bola de Nieve”, a van in which they have rode many kilometers together and has become everyone’s refuge. Together, they flee to escape a city so dangerous it is referred to as Apocalípsur. Javier Mejía O., a Social Communications major from the Pontificia Bolivarian University, has done various script writing and actor-direction courses and has directed several short films and documentaries. He participated in the third and fourth series of Muchachos a lo bien (Good Vibe Youngsters). He has directed many television series and also numerous commercials.
