ABOUT THE FILM
Finding the right mate, the right place and the right time to create a family is the most critical quest in nature. A miraculous life-story of love, risk and resilience that follows the difficult life of the Caribbean Flamingos. A 9-year production in collaboration with Cornell Lab of Ornithology (world leader in the study and conservation of birds). The film blends a unique narration with some humor and lots of thoughtful conclusions that underline the spectacular images on the screen. Narrated by Julieta Venegas, one of the most successful Latin-American Pop singers today, and featuring an impressive soundtrack by Bryce Dessner (The National) this one-of-a-kind Mexican film breaks the natural history genre.
