Saw this at the Amsterdam documentary festival IDFA when it came out. This movie makes for a lot of laughs as it tells an endearing story of superstition as part of small town life in rural Argentina. Through terrific editing together of personal accounts of local residents, as well as a wedding ceremony, I was made to feel a lot of love for the people in this story.
