Yollotl (Heart)

Mexican Short Film

Country: France

Yollotl unites the past and the present through a love story inspired by Mesoamerican mythology and the testimonies of the children of the Mayan jungle. A narration in Nahuatl and a ritual song accompany the journey from the interior of the ancient trees to the universe. Through a love story between two thousand-year-old trees that protect a secret, I questioned the place that human beings occupy on Earth and in the Universe.
