El Condor Pasa

2013 · 102 min

A heavy, slow meditation on grief and faith, watching two shattered people drift through silence and long pilgrimage.

Even more affected by the incident is her much older sister who, in the absence of their parents, had been acting as the girl’s maternal guardian. The priest wants to console the woman though he is nowhere closer to getting over his own grief. A bizarre journey between the two ensues which includes a pilgrimage to Peru.
