PRESS RELEASE
Winner of the Discovery Award at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival and the Grand Jury Prize at the 2008 Miami International Film Festival. The lush Sierra Tarahumara in northwest Mexico sets the stage for this unusual fable and coming-of-age story about two indigenous Raramuri brothers, Tony and Evaristo (non-professional actors Antonio and Evaristo Batista in their film debut), who are sent across the mountains by their grandfather to deliver medicine to a remote community. The boys take their grandfather’s horse without his permission and embark on an adventure full of unexpected turns, through the film’s beautifully rendered mountain paths, canyons and rivers
