El salto de la princesa

About This Movie

So, 'El salto de la princesa' is an intriguing dive into fantasy, really. It tells the story of Eleonore and Martin as they venture into Araucanía to unearth their Mapuche roots. The pacing is a bit languid, almost dreamy, which fits the ethereal atmosphere. Guided by Lincoyán, the local man, Eleonore’s journey unfolds with a sense of mystique. The film’s practicality shines through its use of real locations and cultural elements, pulling you into this world. The performances are heartfelt, especially in how they reflect the characters’ connection to their ancestry. You can feel the weight of the legends as they come alive, all woven into this rich narrative tapestry. It’s not your typical fantasy fare.
