Screenings
Three stories, free like birds, like vencejos. Guadalupe, Silberius, and Sampe live in three different villages, yet something unites them: each has left the city and now seeks new meaning in the mountains. One speaks of horse tourism and a hippotherapy project for her brother with Down syndrome; another recounts her passion for the tambourine; the third searches for authentic music in nature—music entirely his own.
