Yucuate's Tale

Movie · 0h 27m

Starring Aranza Valeria Jiménez Cruz, Luis Ángel Osorio Castro, Samantha Michelle Cruz Jímenez, Nataly Jacqueline Cruz Jímenez

An audiovisual experiment that blends animation techniques with documentary and theatrical language. It was made with children and young people from the Yivi workshop and is based on a true story: the fire on Cerro del Cacahuate, in Santo Domingo Yanhuitlán, Oaxaca, in February 2021. The short film unfolds as a fantastical tale where animals, fungi, and trees are the protagonists of an encounter with a human on the verge of death who, in desperation, climbs the hill to venture into the forest.
