Mercedes Moncada Rodríguez : 2012
Palabras Mágicas (para romper un encantamiento)
Here, in Lake Managua, Sandino's ashes are dissolved. Will the content convert its container? Lago Xolotlán is possessed by him, by Sandino. If this is true, then the lake is the whole of Managua, because it is the city's place of drainage, and waste from all of us has flowed into it. I resemble Lake Managua: rather than being a flowing river that continually renovates itself, it hoards and saves, just like Nicaragua. It starts with childish imagination where death is romantic and heroic, going on to grow with the deepest and most beautiful love, the pain of loss, passing through betrayal and finally arriving at emptiness. Mercedes Moncada Rodríguez's documentary, an emotional look at the Nicaraguan Revolution, screened at San Sebastián International Film Festival 2012.
