KING OF THE MOON
It’s midsummer in the tiny, remote fishing village of Caleta Agua Amargosa, on México’s tropical Sea of Cortez. A spring rain has buried the only road through the mountains and the village is dying.
King of the Moon enchants with its affectionate, powerfully told story of the universal human condition, its authentic, cinematic portrait of life in a Baja California fish camp, its vivid descriptions of the desert and sea, its vibrant fishing scenes, and most of all, its deeply explored, truly unforgettable characters.
There’s the mystical Indian woman, Socorro; her bigger-than-life husband, Abundio; their beautiful, brilliant daughter, María Guadalupe; and their stalwart friend, the young and handsome Chino Zúñiga; the Italian hermit-philosopher, Fra Nacho; hard-driven Pablo Santos, best fisherman in the village; and his crazed sister, the tormented Margarita, who holds the keys to every secret in her dreams.
As the universal, dark questions come echoing out of the nighttime arroyo of Caleta Agua Amargosa, the Rodríguezes search for the strength and courage to persevere in a world lacking clear answers, and we discover in this indomitable Mexican family the deep spirituality that gets us out of bed each morning to ride into an uncertain future.
King of the Moon’s inspirational message is clear With love, faith, and acceptance, we can endure and prevail over the human predicament, even though we will never understand it.
