Comala, Comala archiveAn irreverent homage to Mexican culture - a surrealistic journey through the worlds of the living and the dead fueled by music, storytelling, and mezcal - a reimagining of the novel "Pedro Paramo" by Juan Rulfo. The story follows Juan Preciado in his quest for vengeance on his long-lost father after a deathbed confession by his mother. We meet Juan Preciado in the present day as he desperately tries to find a way to get to the town of Comala. On her deathbed, his mother made him promise to seek out and exact revenge on his long-lost father. Juan encounters a myriad of characters whose stories are intertwined with the town's history and its central, haunting figure - Pedro Paramo. As the townspeople - both dead and alive - recount the many atrocities committed by the Paramo dynasty in Comala throughout the years, we witness the rise and fall of this once-prosperous community, and relive the surreal stories of those who have died, yet still wander amongst us. Will Juan be able to avenge his dying mother in this world where the line between life and death is blurred at every step; or will he become forever bound to Comala, absorbed into the pantheon of lost and longing souls?
