Experiencing Interruptions?

Seca (Dry)

A young girl discovers the devastating effects of a global water shortage and embarks on a mission to bring water back to Earth.

She then summons the help from miraculous revered saint La Difunta Correa, who died of thirst while crossing the desert but kept her child alive by brestfeeding him long after she passed away.

Deeply connected with nature, she submerges into esoteric rituals and offers both her own pleasure and pain, hoping to boost fertility into the ground.

Director Biography - PolY

PolY discovered her first camera at the age of 7 on summer vacations and never let go.

Her recent short ‘Seca’ has been shortlisted at the Berlín fashion Film Festival as one of the best experimental films in 2023, among other recognitions.
