A delicate portrait of a young Mexican boy,
struggling to deal with the death of his parents, who wants to know what
happens when we die. The boy forms an unlikely friendship with a local
hermit whose inconceivable age and ailing health feeds his curiosity along

Beautifully shot and featuring a captivating, charismatic central
performance, this is a deeply moving film about the circle of life, the
human experience and the order of the natural world. Cert: 12A.
