Inspired by Mesoamerican mythology, Yollotl depicts the love story between two thousand-year-old trees in the Mayan rainforest that protect a secret. Through testimonies in Nahuatl from local children and a ritual song, the director connects the past and the present, questioning the place occupied by human beings on Earth and in the Universe.
