I Dream in Another Language
Languages have magic — dead or dying ones most of all — and some of that sorcery has made it onto the screen
I Dream in Another Language
When a language dies, a unique vision of the world is lost forever
An indigenous language is in peril as its last two speakers (Evaristo and Isauro, 70’s)
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 to bring the old friends back together and
convince them to once again talk to each other so he can obtain a recorded registration
of the language and study it. However, hidden in the past, in the heart of the jungle, lies
a secret concealed by the language that makes it difficult to believe that the heart of
Zikril will beat once again.
According to filmmaker Ernesto Contreras, this story is inspired by true events.
