Winner of the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, Jayro Bustamante's brilliant debut is a mesmerizing fusion of fact and fable, a dreamlike depiction of the daily lives of Kaqchikel speaking Mayans on a coffee plantation at the base of an active volcano. Immersing us in its characters' customs, "Ixcanul" chronicles a disappearing tradition and a disappearing people.
