LA VIDA EN COMÚN
ABOUT
A mountain lion stalks Pueblo Ranquel, an indigenous community in the middle of the desert. Uriel (11) and Isaías (13) are friends. They feed the dogs, and the teenagers take them to hunt. But a conflict appears between them because Isaías wants to hunt the mountain lion, but they don’t allow him because he is too young. Luana (12) arrives to the community and she also generates a silent rivalirity between them. Finally, Isaías is accepted among the teenagers. In one of the hunting outputs, they wound the animal without killing it. Now, they just have to follow the blood trail and finish it. Growing up is going to hunt, but Uriel feels himself more attached to the wounded animal and awaits the storm, so the water can erase its footprints.
