"The Wake" - ("El Velorio")
Tina's world is breaking up. The answers lie elsewhere. In a bid to restore order she embarks on a journey where past and present collide. Her plight is soon embroiled with that of the people she encounters questioning her return.
A beautifully realised film that finds a lyrical visual poetry in the world and poignantly describes the events that define our experiences of it.- Rev Fest, Perth 2018
