About this movie

An indigenous language is in peril as its last two speakers, Evaristo and Isauro, had a quarrel in the past and haven’t spoken to each other in over 50 years. Martín, a young linguist, will undertake the challenge of bringing the old friends back together and convincing them to speak to each other, all so he can obtain a recorded registration of the language and study it. However, hidden in the past, deep in the jungle, lies a secret concealed by the language that makes it difficult to believe that the heart of Zikril will ever beat again.

I watched this movie in Sundance 2017, and I was so amazed I couldn't leave my seat after the movie ended. This is a poetic, beautiful, artistic masterpiece, about a dying language. Even though Zikril is a made up language, which was created especially for the movie (that alone deserves a prize), you'll feel like you were given a rare chance to sit at the death bed of a dying era, hearing it's last stories and memories, and longing to hear more.
