A legacy born of clay.

Pablo Pajarito, the last potter to practice the barro canelo technique, is navigating the grief of losing his father, who was also his teacher. As shared memories resurface through his clay-covered hands, Pablo strives to pass on this ancient craft while confronting a painful reality: no one is willing to carry on the tradition. Caught between loss and resilience, he fights to keep alive what was lovingly passed down to him.
