The Grandmothers of the Hidden Route unearth their past with memories and knowledge. Through their magical memories, they revive stories of past traditions that have been lost over time, from ancestral recipes, natural remedies to bad air cures. We will remember the wisdom that our grandmothers carry and the importance of preserving our cultural roots. Our grandmothers are our heritage. Creases is a short film documentary developed in the five rural parishes of the so-called “Hidden Route” (Perucho, Puellaro, Minas, Atahualpa, Chavezpamba). Each of these lands are home to grandmothers full of knowledge and traditions, which unfortunately have been lost among the new generations. This is why Creases was born as a delicate portrait that, accompanied by stop motion technique, gives life to this wisdom of the grandmothers, the magic that their knowledge carries and allows us to relive the energy that each of this activities entails. In order to eternalize them in time along with their practices, so that they are not lost and can be a playful record that remains for new generations.
