About This Movie

Toci, nuestra abuela is a thought-provoking documentary that delves into the heart of modern anxieties—fear, monotony, insecurity.

The film has a contemplative pace, allowing you to really sit with the narratives it presents. It feels like a journey that moves between the raw emotions of its subjects and the serene atmosphere of the temazcal itself, creating a meditative experience.
