In a small town in San Juan Chamula we meet the big and wise gaze of an old woman who preserves the last ritual to the dead, but because of a great promise of love she renounces prayer. The sadness of having lost two of her daughters has been transformed over time into the strength and patience of this great woman that allows us to connect to the true spiritual world.
