Mi hijo Ceferino Namuncurá

The film follows Ceferino Namuncurá, the son of a Mapuche cacique and a white woman, as he navigates his early life and education. It begins with a portrayal of his father's struggles against Spanish forces, setting a backdrop for Ceferino's unique heritage. As he grows, the film shifts focus to his schooling and eventual journey toward becoming a priest.

Despite its historical context, the narrative is characterized by a slow pace, presenting events in a straightforward manner without heightened drama. Ceferino's miraculous survival as a baby serves as a pivotal moment in his life story, but the film does not delve deeply into the emotional weight of these experiences. His time in Buenos Aires and subsequent studies in Italy, leading to his untimely death from tuberculosis, are depicted with a similar lack of intensity. This biopic offers a lens into the life of a boy who would become the first Indian of South America to be beatified, making it a notable entry in the genre of ethnographic drama.
