PODCAST | Federica Scarpa interviews Tatiana Huezo, director of the film The Echo.

In the Encounters section of the 73rd Berlinale Film Festival, the new film by Tatiana Huezo, The Echo. The director tells us through the eyes of the children who live in a small village in Northern Mexico, a hidden and unknown world to most, but in which great universal truths can be seen again. Tatiana tells us why she decided to tell this story, what she discovered while shooting at El Eco, and what her intentions were.

The Echo: A young mother runs across a mountain meadow with her children and they save a sheep from drowning. A girl cares for her elderly grandmother so tenderly that you want to cry while another practices being a teacher with just the right tone of voice, her dolls lined up before her as willing pupils. The fathers are mostly absent: as construction workers or tradesmen, they rarely share their daily lives with their families. In El Eco, a remote village in northern Mexico, life consists of the most elementary things. Being a child here is an intense experience from day one, involving nature, animals and people. But also love, intimacy, illness and death. And education – at least for the younger generation.
