La Vitualla

Colombia | 9 min | Animation, Family | 2023 | Short Film (Animation) | Spanish

In the Colombian Caribbean Coast are places where grandmothers seem to have culinary powers. This kind of magic allows them to cook delicious recipes with few ingredients, and leave us with lifelong memories. In a place like that happens La Vitualla, the story of Julio, an 8-year-old kid, who woke up one morning to be sent away from home just when his grandmother died, taking away his opportunity to grieve her.
