Hispanic Heritage Film Series: Aquí y Allá
Thursday, September 21, 6:30 pm. Free Dir. Antonio Méndez Esparza(2012), US/Spain/Mexico, 110 minutes.
Aquí: Pedro returns home to a small mountain village in Guerrero, Mexico after years of working in the US. He finds his daughters older, and more distant than he imagined. His wife still has the same smile. Having saved earnings from trips to the US, he hopes to now finally make a better life, and to pursue his dreams of starting a band. Allá: The villagers think this year’s crop will be bountiful. There is also good work in a growing city an hour away. But the locals are wise to a life of insecurity, and their thoughts are often of family members or opportunities far away, north of the border.
