Woman on the Cross

Set in a deforested Latin American country at the close of the 18th century, the narrative explores the clash between suppressed pre-Christian nature worship and emerging religious practices. It follows Sebastian Cristo Rey, the last in a lineage of performers who reenact crucifixions, and the dramatic turn of events when Sidelle, the priestess's daughter devoted to ancient tree worship, is crucified alongside him. This poignant tale intertwines themes of faith, tradition, and the struggle for cultural identity.
