The routes in february

Driven by childhood memories and the hope of rebuilding a relationship, young Sarah visits her paternal grandmother in the Uruguayan village where she was born. She left the country with her parents over ten years ago and hasn’t been back since. Sarah is in mourning for her father, recently deceased in Montreal, and she hopes to reconnect with her grandmother. However, the reunion doesn’t unfold quite how Sarah had imagined. She’s quickly confronted with the gap between her fantasy of her homeland and the reality of life in this sun-scorched village inhabited by old people where the days drag by interminably.
