In Lila Avilés’ tender TÓTEM, young Sol spends the day at her grandfather’s house, helping her family prepare for the birthday party of her dying father, Tona. As she wanders through hectic hallways and overhears emotional conversations from around corners, a rich portrait of family is revealed through her eyes. A study of mortality and a celebration of life, TÓTEM is a film of profound beauty that the Alliance of Women Film Journalists called “a compassionate little wonder.” Film Center exclusive.
