 (Grand Prize in the 2016 Cannes Critics’ Week), revolves around Amador Coro, a man who has been sent to jail for having started a fire. When he gets out of prison, nobody is waiting for him. He returns to his hometown, a small village nestled in the mountains of rural Galicia, to live with his mother and their three cows. Life goes by slowly, following the pace set by nature – until one night when a fire starts to lay waste to the region… The feature, which was produced by Spain (MiramemiraKowalski Films) with France (4 A 4 Productions) and Luxembourg (Tarantula), will be distributed in France by Pyramide from 4 September onwards. 

Pyramide’s sales team, managed by Agathe Mauruc, also has high hopes for the Official Selection documentary The Cordillera of Dreams [+lee también:

 by Belgian-Guatemalan director César Diaz, which will be in competition in the Critics’ Week. A production involving Belgium (Need Productions), France (Perspective Films) and Guatemala (Cine Concepcion), this feature debut whisks us away to Guatemala in 2018, as the whole country is immersed in the trial of the soldiers who sparked the civil war. Victim statements come one after another. Ernesto is a young anthropologist working for the Forensic Foundation; his job is to identify the missing. One day, while listening to the account of an old woman, he thinks he has found a lead that might guide him to his father, a guerrilla fighter who went missing during the war… Pyramide will also be directly responsible for the French distribution.

Interestingly, Pyramide is also selling the documentary Kongo [+lee también:
