| Summary |
A choir of creatures introduces a world delicately constructed by fantasy, mystery, and magical realism in Francisca Alegra₂̕s poignant and stunning debut feature. It begins in a river in the south of Chile where fish are dying due to pollution from a nearby factory. Amid their floating bodies, long-deceased Magdalena bubbles up to the surface gasping for air, bringing with her old wounds and a wave of family secrets. The shocking return sends her widowed husband into turmoil and prompts their daughter Cecilia to return home to the family₂s dairy farm with her children. Magdalena₂s presence reverberates among her family, instigating fits of laughter and despair in equal measure with all but Cecilia₂s eldest child, who finds much-needed comfort in their grandmother₂s love and unconditional understanding during a time of transition. A lyrical rumination on family, nature, renewal, and resurrection, The Cow Who Sang A Song Into The Future is an ambitious proposal for acceptance and healing, suggesting that the dead return when they are most needed. |
