LE MOT JUST
A FILM ABOUT H'ECTOR TIZÓN
SYNOPSIS
"Le Mot Just" (2004), a Film by Eduardo Montes with Héctor Tizón - The director walks from the old railway station in Yala to the ancestral home of Héctor Tizón. Yala is a minuscule village in the northwestern province of Jujuy, in lands of the ancient Incas, not far from the border between Argentina and Bolivia. He's about to spend a few days in the secluded residence of one of Latin America’s most revered and enigmatic authors. On the path leading house, Montes-Bradley passes the dog cages, and the pond with water lilies.
For the next eighty minutes, the audience has the unique opportunity to listen to one of the brightest minds of his generation evoking a world that no longer exists, and Tizón did not hold back on memories and interpretations about life and the meaning of books: the language of his elders, the transformative idiomatic mutations, and culinary traditions.
