El abuelo

For his 80th birthday, Crisóstomo asks his son Alfonso and grandchildren Santiago and José María to take him on a trip to his birthplace, the northern town of Huamachuco which he hasn’t visited in seven decades. The trip gives José María, a budding filmmaker, the perfect excuse to bring his camera along and shoot a documentary about his grandfather. There is more to this trip than Crisóstomo’s desire to share with his family where he came from, though. (Chicago Latino Film Festival)
