Drama Segundo Paucar, a 14-year-old artisan-in-training, starts searching for meaning after stumbling across a family secret. Having spent his life idolising his father Noé and preparing to follow in his footsteps in their patriarchal mountainside village, his entire sense of self quickly crumbles.

	Author	Review
United States	J.R. Kinnard Seattle Times	"Aparicio sculpts a world for Segundo every bit as delicate as his father’s figurines (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Sarah Ward Screendaily	"Lovingly assembled (...) Strikingly detailed (...) A sensitive, slow-building but always immersive feature"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A poignant, strongly acted debut with a solid sense of place"	POS
United States	Carlos Aguilar Los Angeles Times	"An affectingly measured, near-perfect tour de force that demands serious attention."	POS
