Los dos lados de la tortuga
An Islands’ diary, told through the sombre but loving portrait of its oldest inhabitants. The Galapagos Islands and their majestic tortoises suffer the same fate of exploitation and disfigurement as the influence of humans on this once pristine and untouched corner of the world develops and devours. This film is the first ‘chapter’ of an ongoing adaptation of Herman Melville’s 1849 novel about the islands, The Encantadas.
