The Torrential Melody / La melodía torrencial / Deževna melodija

José Luis Saturno (Enjambre Hexagonal)

2022, Mexico, 6'55''

A town suffering a long drought entrusts its destiny to a wandering musician who has the power to bring rain with his accordion´s music.

Mesto, ki trpi zaradi dolgotrajne suše, preda svojo usodo v roke potujočega glasbenika, ki ima sposobnost priklicati dež z zvokom svoje harmonike.
