A choir of creatures introduces a world delicately constructed by fantasy, mystery, and magical realism in Francisca Alegría’s stunning debut, beginning in a river in the south of Chile where fish are dying due to pollution from the nearby cellulose factory. Amid their floating bodies, long-deceased Magdalena (Mia Maestro) bubbles up to the surface gasping for air, bringing with her old wounds and a wave of family secrets. The shocking return of Magdalena sends her widowed husband (Alfredo Castro) into turmoil and prompts their daughter, Cecilia (Leonor Varela), to return home to the family’s dairy farm with her own children. There, Magdalena’s presence reverberates among her family, instigating fits of laughter and despair in equal measure with all but Cecilia’s eldest child (Enzo Ferrada Rosati), who seeks their grandmother’s love and unconditional understanding during a time of transition. A lyrical rumination on family, renewal, and resurrection, The Cow Who Sang A Song Into The Future is an ambitious proposal for acceptance and healing, suggesting that the dead return when they are most needed.
