The fight of the Jaguar-Men: Nahualt was the language of the Aztecs. Today, many rites from the pre-Columbian era survive on the fringes of the Catholic religion. To the sound of the Teponastle, this drum which embodies the God Texcatlipoca, the Jaguar Men mingle with the faithful and will martyr themselves and flagellate themselves to the point of blood to implore Saint Nicholas and intercede with the Gods for rain to fall.
Director : Javier PEREZ SOLANO & Alain BOURRILLON
