Zítari (The Temple of the Thousand Serpents)

Zítari was not a full-length movie, no… It was a short that Miguel made for me in which I was an Indian princess in the pyramids of Teotihuacan… It was very nice, because there were two ways to see the past and the present… Also, there was no sound… It was Miguel’s last work to be made without sound… And he did it for me, even though I reminded him that there wasn´t anything he did that wasn´t for me… He was full of love.
