Enrique Cabrera

1909. Porfirio Díaz est à la tête du Mexique depuis 34 ans. Un groupe de paysans du Morelos est spolié de ses terres par des propriétaires terriens, exploitants de canne à sucre. Devant la condescendance du dictateur et son refus d'intervenir, Emiliano Zapata, aidé de son ami Pancho Villa (Alan Reed) et de son frère Eufemio (Anthony Quinn), décide de prendre la tête de la révolte et de faire triompher le bon droit des paysans.

The singer and songwriter Florencia Núñez is from Rocha, a coastal department in southeastern Uruguay. Her first compositions took place at her parents' house, in the classes she shared with the composer Enrique Cabrera, or on the shores of the ocean when she spent the summer in Costa Azul, her usual beach town. Today, she lives in Montevideo, she listens to her songs and wonders: what is the origin of all these melodies? This film is her desire to relive that music that made her grow. A tribute to the music of her department through the reinterpretation of five songs that marked her songbook. With that map in mind, Florencia goes out in search of answers in conversations with authors, interpreters or actors from the Rochense scene who were witnesses or protagonists of the construction of the local folk. A journey through the essence of a department that traces a route between melodies and landscapes, poetry and culture, and voices and roots.
