Hilando Sones
2023 | Color | 77:06

In San Pedro Amuzgos, “the town of the spinners” where the director grew up, children are raised beneath the loom. While Zoila weaves, she listens to her son’s first existential questions. Through the warp of their conversation, we weave three threads: of Zoila herself, of Donato, the town's most famous violinist, and of Lorenzo, his heir. These are stories of songs and dances, of children and parents, and of the threads bind us together.
