WTFF5 – International Competition Feature Films
A documentary film that takes place at a lake known as Laguna de Zapotlán, in Jalisco, Mexico. An observational portrait of a landscape that is untethered from discernible chronologies and narrative arcs; it bears witness to the temporalities of land and labour while it directs our gaze and points towards an everyday life that faces the complexities of climate, ecological and industrial change within this lacustrine region.
