Beautiful & very moving

A delicate slice of life... of lives, filled with joy, tears, laughter, hard work, life & passing... Constantly engaging, beautifully captured, never intruding, always sensitive & well observed. An intelligent documentary about intelligent people, shining (literally sometimes) a needed light on the living conditions in an isolated village & its inhabitants, in the Mexican highlands, and the strength of women, young & old, in particular. Mothers, as in Nature, Earth, human & animal, are shown in all their complexities, mostly through children's eyes, and it is that very fact that gives the movie its many invaluable qualities! 10/10.
