The Echo

In the remote village of El Eco in Mexico, that exists outside of time, children only care for the sheep and their elders. While the frost and drought punish the land, they learn to understand death, illness and love with each act, word and silence of their parents. Winner of the Best Documentary award at the 2023 Berlinale, this film by the outstanding director of La Tempestad and Prayers for the Stolen is a story about the echo of what clings to the soul, the certainty of shelter provided by those around us, and about rebellion and vertigo in the face of life.
