Doris is a young Wayuú woman who dreams of a reunion with her deceased cousin. After seeking advice from her grandmother, she learns that this vision obligates her to exhume her cousin’s remains from her grave and lead a “second burial,” which will allow her relative to rest in peace.
Part ethnographic documentary, part woven drama, filmmakers César Alejandro Jaimes and Juan Pablo Polanco present an eerie, dreamlike, and beautifully framed examination of tradition, ritual, and superstition, mirroring the Wayuú traditional belief that the dead coexist with the living.
Directors: Juan Pablo Polanco & Cesar Alejandro Jaines
