Retablo

High in the mountainside of Peru, 14-year-old Segundo is being groomed to follow his father’s footsteps in the traditional folk art of retablo-making - crafting intricate, artisan story-boxes depicting religious scenes and important everyday events. Segundo is becoming restless realizing that the weight of carrying the family legacy on his shoulders will keep him on the mountain forever, and then he stumbles across a secret...

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Peruvian Andes, this coming-of-age story masterfully explores the weight of heritage, the boundaries of love, and the burdens of family expectations.
