Escuela Monte

About This Movie

Escuela Monte is a curious dive into a boy's world entwined with nature. Set against the backdrop of a dense forest, we follow Carmelo, who's just eight and grappling with this transition from urban life to the wild. The film captures a slow, almost meditative pacing that reflects his exploration and the atmosphere of uncertainty. It's raw, almost unpolished, and there’s a certain honesty in the way it portrays the struggles and joys of adapting to this lifestyle. The interactions between Carmelo and his surroundings feel genuine, almost like a dance—a push and pull between innocence and the stark realities of living in the wild. It’s a documentary that has its own unique rhythm and lingers in your mind long after it’s over.
