Cinema Wednesdays - Loris S. Musumeci
«What are we going to be able to do with this boy?»
Miguel Rivera is a child of the small Mexican town of Santa Cecilia. He carries with him a strong sense of family. As the inevitable Dia de los Muertos - The Feast of the Dead - everything has been prepared to give the Rivera ancestors a good annual homecoming, with offerings and the display of a photograph of each deceased member on the house altar.
Only one figure is not enthroned in effigy: that of the father of Mama Coco, Miguel's great-great-grandmother and confidante. The mysterious figure is said to have abandoned his family to follow his destiny: music. Considered cursed, music itself was completely banned and hated by the family. And yet, the young boy dreams of nothing more than becoming a musician. Secretly.
