The Echo

Before the film we will be screening Lillo: After the death of his father, a little boy has to do the cornfield harvest on his own, overcoming his loss with the help of his imagination.

SYNOPSIS:
In El Eco, a remote village in northern Mexico, life consists of the most elementary, basic things. Being a child/teen of labouring farmers is an intense experience, involving nature, animals and people. But also love, intimacy, illness and death. 

Tatiana Huezo has made a name as a sensitive and poetic documentarian and filmmaker with El Lugar más pequeño, Tempestad, Prayers for the Stolen and several short films.

Accompanying three families in her new work, Huezo portrays the care-working matriarchy in a country notorious for its innumerable kidnappings of young women and girls. A tender film that celebrates the grace of all animals and the children of this earth alike.
