Laguna
2025 GIORNATE DEGLI AUTORI - Special screening
SYNOPSIS
On the Pacific coast of Mexico, in the land Ina Marija had chosen as her home, her father and her sister Una embark on a journey retracing her steps.
There, amidst the extraordinary and resilient nature of the mangroves — in a Laguna battered by hurricanes yet perpetually reborn — they begin to navigate the tender terrain of grief.
Sharunas Bartas, directing the film, lays his emotions bare in an act of transmission, allowing for a reconstruction anchored in the natural cycles of life and nature.
