Until a Later Time

This is the story of two pianists: Romayne and Romeyno. Romayne, an American musician, left the comforts of Europe over 30 years ago to learn about the Rarámuri worldview in the Sierra Tarahumara. Romeyno, his Rarámuri godson, is a young pianist striving to make his way in Mexico’s classical music scene. A journey in opposite directions, where both musicians seek their own identity.
