Antonio Gil
Far from being a heroic story or a rational explanation, this film is a polyphonic composition where the proper noun -- Antonio Gil -- is the signifier around which multiple and heterogenous stories come together. A mosaic of campesino voices, like a choir with its own peculiar cadence, narrates the myth's construction over the course of the 20th century, and accompanies us on a visual journey through its celebration.
