In rural Mexico a hardy farming family battle the elements in Tatiana Huezo's (Prayers for the Stolen) atmospheric Berlinale Documentary Award-winning film.

In the remote village of El Eco that exists outside of time, the children care for the sheep and their elders. While the frost and drought punish the land, they learn to understand death, illness and love with each act, word, and silence of their parents. A story about the echo of what clings to the soul, about the certainty of shelter provided by those around us, about rebellion and vertigo in the face of life.

"Tatiana Huezo’s film about a teenage runaway has the look of a drama, and yet it’s a documentary – one that showcases her distinctive, immersive style." - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
