La tórtola del Ajusco

The film captures the journey of two young people who escape the perils of their isolated mountain village in a bid to join modern society. Set in the early 19th century in the remote highlands of Mexico, the film follows their encounters with a bird, a symbol of freedom, and the overarching theme of the fight for life and the desire to belong in a chaotic world. Along their perilous journey, the film beautifully intertwines the evocative expression of landscape, a rich folkloric soundscape, and the resilience of tradition in the heart of the indigenous culture. With its unique cinematic language, the film encourages deep contemplation on the meaning of life and the place of individual existence within the broader context of society. The film is not just a story of two individuals; it is a symphony of imagery, sound, and movement that pays tribute to the ancient culture of Mexico and its rich historical narratives. Strike a chord with viewers who appreciate non-narrative, experiential filmmaking and want to explore the relationship between intrinsic desires, the external reality of life in nature, and the transformative power of movies to transcend cultural and social divides; make sure to tag this film as both an art house and a historical film in your promotional material keywords. The link between the bird and the boys should also be cast as a key selling point.
