Original title: El Eco Year: 2023 Duration: 102 min. Country of Production: Mexico, Germany Language: Spanish Cinematographer: Ernesto Pardo Sound Designer: Lena Esquenazi Director: Tatiana Huezo Editors: Lucrecia Gutierrez, Tatiana Huezo Producers: Tatiana Huezo, Dalia Reyes

A young mother with her children saves a sheep from drowning. A girl cares for her grandmother in such a tender and delicate way it makes you want to cry, while another practices becoming a teacher with her dolls lined up before her as the pupils. The school of life in the hills of the northern Mexican village El Eco is something very different. Life consists of the most elementary things. Being a child here is an intense experience from day one, involving nature, animals and people. But also love, intimacy and the essential relationship to family. Tatiana Huezo has already made a name for herself as a sensitive and poetic documentarian with films such as TEMPESTAD. THE ECHO sets the tone immediately and shows how accomplished her filmmaking is and the incredible contribution of her fantastic crew, both immaculate cinematography, sound design and editing.
