SON OF MONARCHS / HIJO DE MONARCAS
A film by Alexis Gambis
(USA/Mexico, 2020, 97 min. In Spanish with English subtiles)

“Employing a rich and romantic visual tapestry, this drama tells the story of Mendel, who grew up enchanted by the migrating monarch butterflies in his native Michoacán. Now, he sequences their DNA in New York while trapeze lessons allow him to experience their flight. On a visit back home to Mexico, the young man finds himself weighing matters of culture, love, and family, recognizing how his own life path has followed the migration of the beloved insects he studies.” —San Francisco International Film Festival
