El Triunfo

🎞️ Movie 20 min MX
2013

Nicolas Carrillo Castro was the pianist at the music museum located right in the middle of a ghost town called El Triunfo in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Nicolas played the piano at the museum until the day he died. This short film is a fictional portrait of the village itself through the character of Nicolas. It's largely inspired on the life story that Nicolas invented for himself, the contrast of beauty and abandonment visible through out the whole village and the moment of Nicolas' death. The screenplay sprouted from an oral story by Cesar Nunez and the conversations that Nicolas held with the director during December 2011 and January 2012.
