El Señor de Esquipulas

"THE BLACK CHRIST" In the easternmost part of Guatemala, close to the border with Honduras and El Salvador lies the town of Esquipulas and its magnificent baroque basilica. Here, daily lives are intertwined between local inhabitants and those drawn to the location's magical draw. Carmen, a young mother is abandoned by her philandering husband and struggles to survive alongside her young son, Esteban. A photographer on assignment arrives in town to photograph the statue of the Christ of Esquipulas--a black image--and instead comes face to face with her own destiny. Meanwhile, "The Mute," a local, speechless character awakens every morning with a much riskier mission: to find sustenance and shelter in order to survive.
