Screenstory
"La Sequía" describes the relationship of an indigenous couple living in the aridity of the northern countryside. The climatic factor is depicted as a visual metaphor of the society and the internal self of individuals. The dryness in the male character and the desolate landscape critiques the patriarchal system of that time.
