Manantial
Directed by
The love between old and young, the tie between past and future can restore hope. A boy accompanies his grandmother on her daily trip to a spring. They climb rocky trails through rugged terrain only to discover that the spring is filled with garbage. A gesture from the boy and, as if by magic, everything returns back to as it should be. Presented in the Short Film Corner of the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, the film won public and critical acclaim.
