Yungay 7020

Throughout a journey, the people of Yungay remember the avalanche through their listening to the radio with the statements of the survivors, but also with the enigmatic sound coming from the mountains. The composition of images of enormous photographic power with the narrative and evocative audio narrates the event and provides the viewer with a space to compose the memory of the tragic event in a beautiful and subtle way.

Its directors and screenwriters have been working together since 2014, when Elena Molina directed Le Cimetière des Marionnettes, which Raquel Calvo produced.

Synopsis: In 1970 an avalanche erased the colonial town of Yungay. A group of survivors fought for its reconstruction, only a kilometer away. Now they struggle with their memories, daily life and the threat of Peru's highest peak, Huascaran, which provides water while threatening to crush them again.
