To director Ismael Vásquez Bernabé, San Pedro Amuzgos in Oaxaca, Mexico, is a vast loom on which every person is a thread, necessary to the integrity of the whole community. But what happens when a thread snaps? As a child, Vásquez Bernabé would lie under his mother’s loom and ponder life beyond his own existence in his small town. Now, as an adult, he follows this curiosity by centring on the very community that raised him. Weaving together the stories of three members of the community—Donato, a recently deceased legendary violinist; his son Lorenzo, who is attempting to uphold his father’s legacy; and his own mother, Zoila, the only one of her sisters who still practises the art of weaving—Vásquez Bernabé explores the importance of carrying on traditions that are essential to a community’s survival. “It’s up to us who remain to rescue the cloth on the loom.”
