In the arid Canary Islands of the 15th century, Fátima is enslaved by a decadent marquis who controls the island’s only source of fresh water. When rebellion erupts and the well runs dry, she ventures into the barren landscape in search of water, giving hope of survival for the entire community.
Director duo, Helena Girón and Samuel Delgado, explore mythology, history and materialism focusing on the Canary Islands. Their films include They Carry Death, which premiered at Venice Critics’ Week, Bloom, which screened at Rotterdam, and A Hundred-Headed Dragon, which premiered at Visions du Réel.
