Alma & Esperanza

In a highly controlled smart city in the year 2084 two climate migrants try to connect by writing old-fashioned letters to each other. Itu Ninu is a Sci-Fi film in Mixtec, an Indigenous language from Mexico, reflecting on the future, migration, and climate change.

A young indigenous boy imagines his future with a seashell pressed to his ear; an indigenous man recalls his past while listening to the same shell. Both wonder about how time transforms them and their surroundings. This film invites the audience to reflect on the past, present, and future of a changing landscape and its vanishing biodiversity.
