The Cow Who Sang a Song Into the Future (La vaca que cantó una canción hacia el futuro)

In a river in the south of Chile, fish are dying due to pollution from the nearby cellulose factory. Amid their floating bodies, long-deceased Magdalena bubbles up to the surface gasping for air, bringing with her old wounds and a wave of family secrets.

The shocking sight of Magdalena sends her widowed husband into turmoil and prompts their daughter, Cecilia, to return home to the family’s dairy farm. There, Magdalena’s presence reverberates among her family, instigating fits of laughter and despair in equal measure, with everyone but Cecilia’s eldest child, who seeks her grandmother’s love and unconditional understanding during a time of transition.
