Program Note
Lautaro lives in a small farming village in Guerrero, Mexico, where a feudal society, complete with peasants and a lord, still exists. When his parents die, he leaves his younger siblings behind and goes to live with his aunt, but later decides to return to his home. Within the landscape of traditional Mexico, the film brings a fantasy characteristic of Central American movies. By making small countryside towns the background setting, it allows us to feel the natural life and traditions of peasants. The visions we see through the eyes of the main character bring a certain ambience to the movie, as well as reflect on the Central American view of death and the dead ? life and death coexist, and spirits are still our partners in life. The donkeys in the title represent the peasants. Their resistance is the main theme surrounding the movie. This resistance and fantasy coexist in Lautaro’s journey back home in the latter half of the movie. The film sparkles with the Best Director Award from the Guadalajara Film Festival as a feature debut. (RHEE, Soue-won)
