Mal del viento

2012 · 88 min · Documentary

This documentary explores the case of Julián Acuña, a boy from the Mbya Guaraní Indigenous Community. Julián was transferred and hospitalized in Buenos Aires by court order. Doctors prescribed heart surgery. The community's spiritual leader dreamed of a stone in the boy's heart and requested his return to the village to heal him with traditional medicine. Time passed, but the boy and his family, far from the forest and completely alone, continued to suffer.

MovieDocumentary
On the outskirts of Buenos Aires, there is a neighborhood built around two cemeteries. Amidst virgins and pagan offerings, the elders recite memories and forget ghosts. Children invent their childhoods with graves and hammocks. Oblivion is a territory where these creatures glide, feeling the passage of time, even though they are no longer part of it. Fears wander among the shadows of the disappeared; there is silence where voices should have been, and the everyday becomes ritual.
