Synopsis
In the Sierra Negra of Mexico, Flor and Torito, a young couple living in two villages separated by a river and a mountain, have to face various obstacles to be together. A hydropower plant is about to change their way of life forever, not only making it more difficult to reach each other but also threatening the future of the communities’ themselves: a hydropower plant would mean a death row to the communities’ natural environment and life would no longer be sustainable for the future generations. Together, they decide to film each other while they unite to offer resistance throughout their community radio.
A lovestory on the notes of a fight for climate justice and human rights.
