Morro film explores human-animal bonds in Mexico
Director Rodrigo García Saiz has premiered his new film, ‘Morro’, in the New Directors section of the San Sebastián Film Festival. The film explores the emotional aftermath of drug-related violence in Mexico through the bond between a veterinarian and a dog.
Set in the Altiplano de Hidalgo, the narrative follows Mateo, a veterinarian played by Gustavo Sánchez Parra, who saves an injured dog belonging to a local drug lord. The story is inspired by a real-life incident involving a dog abandoned during a police operation. Rather than focusing on explicit depictions of crime or typical narco-trafficking tropes, the film examines the human connection and the resilience of those living in conflict zones.
