The Faithful Dead

De Trofaste Døde

“Explores Mexican indigenous views on death and the cycle of life, focusing on the vibrant Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) celebrations.”

For pre-columbian Mexicans, the contrast between life and death was not so definite. Death was not the natural conclusion to life, but a stage in an infinite cycle." (Octavio Paz). THE FAITHFUL DEAD is about the Mexicans' vision of life and death. The film tracks the tradition in a movement from Mexico City to the celebrations of the Day of the Dead, the 2nd of November in Michoacán State.
