Genekashlu
Argentina, Peru, Spain / Color / 10' / 2019
Many children in the jungle are abandoned by their parents, who leave their homes to work at the gold mines or to the cities and they never come back. Mapowa, an eight-year-old girl who lives in the Amazon jungle, with her mother and younger brother, decides to go to the city in search of her father to sing him a song on his birthday. Once she arrives at the city, she meets disappointment as her father does not live there. Maybe, he never has. It is by singing her song that Mapowa manages to cross through frustration. Only then she is ready to go back home.
