The Important Man
Drama
Animas Trujano is a colorful but irresponsible Indian in a small Mexican village. He hopes above all things someday to be chosen mayordomio of his village, a place of great honor usually conferred upon the wealthiest and most respected citizens. Animas has a loyal wife, but cheats on her and gambles away every cent they raise. Chances arise for Animas to turn over a new leaf and even hope realistically for the honor of mayordomio.
VIBE
A stark, character-driven drama set against a vivid Mexican backdrop. It feels like watching a man wrestle with his demons and societal expectations, a slow, often painful journey towards a fleeting chance at honor and self-respect.
