On the third anniversary of Nico's death, Florencia organizes a family reunion in the same forest where lightning struck the boy's head. Under the pretext of holding a ceremony to remember Nico, she invites her two daughters, with whom she has a complicated relationship, and her ex-husband, from whom she separated after the family tragedy. When Lita, the youngest daughter, discovers some esoteric elements in one of the boxes that Florencia has brought, she realizes that her mother has not told the truth about the ceremony and suspects, upon seeing a strange healer appear, that what her mother really intends is to carry out an invocation ritual to bring the child back to life. Florencia's macabre decision will cause the supernatural situation to spiral out of control and endanger her entire family.

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
