Un poquito de agua

Un poquito de água is the result of the Unesco project young observers, that seeks to stimulate discussion about the different meanings that certain matters have in different cultures. In the film, this approach has been elaborated by means of contrasting notions about water. In religious cultures, water is a holy and mythical factor, but in the industrialised world, it is just a dead element. Un poquito de água compares the opinions about the role of water in Mexico City with that in São Paulo. In the process, the film also examines the traditional body of thought of the Indians.
