Quicho

Synopsis

"Quicho" is a documentary that uncovers the hidden beauty within the grueling labor of sugarcane harvesting in Mexico. Through the experience of Quicho, a sugarcane producer, the film explores how, despite being an exhausting task, this agricultural process becomes a symbol of resilience, community, and the discovery of something positive amid the struggle. The burning of cane turns into a ritual that, far from being just hard work, ignites a spirit of renewal and hope in those who practice it.
