EL SILENCIO DEL RIO

 
  

  SYNOPSIS :

  Anselmo is a boy who has lost his father. Epifanio, a poor countryman who sees his world threatened by violence.

  Two parallel stories that are tragically connected by a river. A river that is at the same time a mass grave and a river of memory, whose waters demand that the deceased be mourned.

  In his directorial debut, Carlos Tribin?o observes with contained emotion a landscape that was once beautiful. This landscape and its people provide the background for Anselmo’s rite of initiation, his painful descent to the world of the dead that will rob him of his childhood.
