About the film:

Martín (Fernando Álvarez Rebeil, THE DARKNESS, GRINGO) is a linguist on a mission to save Zikril, an indigenous language with just two remaining speakers — who happen to be locked in a decades-long feud. Journeying to a remote Mexican village, Martín tries to coax Evaristo (Eligio Meléndez) and Isauro (José Manuel Poncelis) into reconciliation, discovering in the process how a dispute over a woman has kept the stubborn men apart for 50 years. With the help of Evaristo's daughter, however, Martín finds that the true cause for the rift is far more complex. With lush photography and a heartfelt message, Ernesto Contreras' debut is an uplifting story of friendship and the enduring power of language. 2017, color, 103 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. - AFI Silver

We hope you to see you there!
