synopsis — Filmed in stunning black and white, this immersive dive into the the lives of of the people of Quelepa, El Salvador feels as if a young Carlos Reygadas (SILENT LIGHT, POST TENEBRAS LUX) worked with Harvard’s Sensory Ethnography Lab to create an experimental slice of life that’s as vibrant as it is enigmatic.
