Ser Semilla (To Be a Seed)
Directed by Julia Granillo Tostado
MEXICO
Touching, growing, caring, dancing. Seedlings climbing around fingertips, birds morphing into humans. But the tender touches slowly fade as the shadows grow and the women start to disappear. A poetic retelling of a 17th century tale of witchcraft in our 21st century. A story about women, witches, gender violence, about women’s strength and resistance.
