About the film:

Title: “Tlalocan. Paraíso del agua / Tlalocan. Water Paradise” (BY ANDRES PULICO, 2016), 30MIN.

SINOPSIS:

Mexico City was built on a lake, but today it faces serious water scarcity. This film leads us across diverse places that allow us to reflect on this contradiction. It’s also a journey through time, to the moment when a huge monolith representing Tlaloc – a pre-Hispanic aquatic deity – was transported to the center of the city. At the same time, the biggest lake of the valley was being drained.

Free lunch provided!
