I Dream in Another Language

2017 · 101 min

A quiet, humid, dreamlike journey into memory and language, where old wounds and forbidden love surface slowly and leave a lingering ache.

Overview: An indigenous language is in peril, as its last two speakers had a quarrel in the past and haven't spoken to each other in over 50 years. Martín, a young linguist, will undertake the challenge of bringing the old friends back together and convincing them to speak once again so he can obtain a recorded registration of the language and study it.
How it feels: Melancholic, earnest, romantic and eerie. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Memory, identity, love, isolation
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
