"Responsibility Not Proportional with Size or Age"
Santo Domingo, November 23, 2008.

Responsibility has no age. That message was clear in the Mexican film, Cochochi, the story of 2 fourteen-year-old boys, Tony and Evaristo, whose grandfather asks them to carry some medicine across the Tarahumara Mountains, in the north of the country.

On the way, they lose their grandfather´s white horse which they´d taken without his permission. Although they manage to get the medicine to its destination, they return home sad at the thought of the scolding they will likely receive from their grandfather. Nevertheless, the conflict is resolved when the lost horse makes his way back home by himself.

The film was shown Saturday at the Mauricio Baéz Club to an audience made up of children, young people and adults who laughed and applauded throughout the screening.

Laura Amelia Guzmán and Israel Cárdenas, co-directors of the film, told the audience about their experiences while making the film, a first for both of them. They said it was a powerful experience and that everything was new and innovative. They explained that the most difficult part was to maintain contact with the people from the town where they filmed and to achieve an interaction in which they fit into the place unobtrusively.
