Through Rocks and Clouds (Raíz) Sunday, April 27, 2025 1 p.m.-2:30 p.m.
Through Rocks and Clouds, the second feature by Franco García Becerra and winner of a Special Mention at the Berlinale, presents a touching coming-of-age story set against the stark beauty of the Andes. It follows Feliciano, an eight-year-old Indigenous alpaca herder whose only companions are Ronaldo, a young alpaca, and Rambo, an old dog. As Feliciano revels in the excitement of the Peruvian national soccer team’s potential World Cup qualification, his village faces mounting pressure from a mining company that threatens his world and dreams. This endearing and charming fable explores themes of resilience, innocence, and the quiet strength of a community striving to protect its land.
