[Sheffield '25] Through this brief odyssey of a dreamer who loves cinema, Fernando's relationship with his son Dylan reflects the idea of transmitting ancestral knowledge, such as language, which is so important in indigenous communities where language is the vehicle through which traditions and knowledge are passed on. In a sort of David-trying-to-get-Goliath's attention tale, this film focuses on the transmission of endangered cultural elements, but it's also a heartfelt love letter to cinema and how some films form part of the cultural education of several generations.
