Pedro Páramo

Mexico 2024 Fiction cor 131`

Based on Juan Rulfo’s masterpiece novel, considered one of the most important books in the history of Mexico, the novel narrates the story of Juan Preciado, who upon his mother’s death, goes to the remote village where he was born in search of his father, Pedro Páramo. He encounters a ghost town, where he meets a series of mysterious people and learns about his dead father’s ruthless quest for wealth and power. The past makes itself present as we learn the truth behind Pedro Páramo’s own search for the love he once knew as a child. The line between the dead and the living and the past and the present is constantly blurred in this surreal tale of desire, hope, regret and resentment.

Presented at the Toronto International Film Festival.
