Experiencing Interruptions?

the lonely village (short version)

In the interior of the country, time has long passed and everyone has forgotten those who dared to stay in the countryside. And the exodus is not only human. Schools, pharmacies, courier services, health centers, carriers, police stations and courts were disappearing from the Interior.
All that remains is the lonely, abandoned villages and the memories of the forest house, of misfortunes and sorrows, of fear and games, of songs and dances, of hope.
Based on the book by Manuel Rodas "Manual de Ramil", 2014;
