This is the portrait of the lifestyle of an indigenous community in Michoacán. It shows a family around the parhankua, a Purepecha stove, where they return to the timeless tradition of gathering around the fire and sharing, doing much more than just cooking food. Delicious talk seasoned with anecdotes and pirekuas (songs) are savored by the warmth in the night, as the family relives stories again and again.
