My Time Will Come (Ecuador) and Mutum (Brazil)
The Magic of Cinema Film Series
Summary: My Time Will Come opens with a predawn murder, which sets in motion a series of interlocking tragedies that eventually find their way to the city morgue's brooding coroner, Dr. Arturo Fernandez. Physically and emotionally isolated from the world around him, he develops an oddly intimate relationship with the personal lives of his cases, gradually forcing him to confront his own connection to the living. Directed by Victor Arreguli, Ecuador’s capital city, Quito, becomes a living entity in the film where life and death are put into a strange tension between isolation and the joys of life and human connection. Mutum, the second film, is a Brazilian coming of age story. The central character, Thiago, is a sensitive and imaginative boy of 10 living on a small, hardscrabble farm in a remote region of Brazil. His life is filled not only with curiosity and youthful discovery, but also the reality of his parent's unhappy marriage and his father's abuse — all of which are one day changed by a chance encounter and unexpected gift. The director, Sandra Kogut, focuses on minute details of rural life to tell a bittersweet tale of one boy's growing up through events both great and small.
