TÓTEM

TÓTEM is a choral film about life. Seven-year-old Sol spends the day at her Grandfather’s home, helping her aunts Nuri and Alejandra for a surprise party they are throwing for Sol’s father, Tonatiuh. As daylight fades, a strange and chaotic atmosphere takes over, shattering the bonds that hold a family together. Sol will come to understand that her world will change dramatically, embracing the essence of letting go and cherishing the breath of life.
