A millenary language agonizes: Its last two speakers, Evaristo and Isauro (70’s) had a quarrel 50 years ago and haven’t spoken to each other since. Martin, a linguist, will undertake the challenge of bringing the two old friends back together and convince them to talk again in order for him to be able to obtain a record of the language. Yet, hidden in the past, in the core of the jungle, lies a secret hidden in the language that makes it difficult to believe that the heart of Zikril will beat again. (IMDB).
“Poetic Mexican film raises philosophical questions about what is lost when a language and by extension, our elders’ memory is allowed to fade away unpreserved.” (Variety)
