The Art of Survival: What 'Morro' Reveals About Latin American Cinema's Resilience In an exclusive deal, Helsinki and London based sales agent The Yellow Affair has acquired world sales rights to Rodrigo García Saiz's drama "Morro," set to premiere at the San Sebastian Film Festival on September 18.
At first glance, this seems like just another acquisition in a crowded film market. However, scratch beneath the surface, and you'll find a story that speaks volumes about the resilience of Latin American cinema.
Shot on 35mm in rural Mexico against a backdrop of simmering violence, "Morro" tells the tale of Mateo, a veterinarian struggling to cope with the loss of his son.
