Program

Catalina and the Sun

Anna Paula HÖNIG 2015 Germany/France/Argentina Fiction color 15min Spanish, Quechua DCP
According to Catalina, if you want to see things clearly you need to close your eyes. The girl wanders across a vast salt lake under the blazing sun. Her grandmother says that the lake is made up of the dried tears of storytellers, for, in order for the sun to shine, a story must be sacrificed every day to the sun god Tata Inti. Right now, Catalina must remember all the stories her grandmother tells, because when her grandmother dies, it will be Catalina´s turn to tell the stories.
