FICUNAM 2025 (International Competition)

After a failed screening that was postponed due to an extraordinary elections in Mexico. I begin this edition of the festival with one of the films of the competition.

It seems that this director already made some works, including a work here in Mexico (Ts'onot). In this case, it's clear why this film is here. A complete sensorial and dreamlike journey between shadows, forest, caves and other places.

With few dialogues and a lot of "few action" this one was weird, but well, there are more to be watched.

And with this film I finish this challenge. 감사합니다! 안녕히 가세요!
