Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl: The Legend

On the slopes of Popocatépetl, the young Mexican artist Diego Morales (28), a painter from Cholula obsessed with capturing the soul of volcanoes, climbs alone to the crater in search of inspiration for his next exhibition. During a minor eruption, he falls into an ancient cave and awakens an ancient myth: the legend of love, betrayal and sacrifice between the warrior Popocatépetl and the princess Iztaccíhuatl. There he meets Xóchitl Tlatoani (26), the last Nahua guardian of the Iztaccíhuatl lineage, a tough, mysterious mountain guide marked by a family curse. Together they discover that Diego is not a simple tourist: he is the reincarnation of the warrior Popo, and Xóchitl carries the blood of the sleeping princess. While Popocatépetl roars louder than ever and a powerful local businessman, Don Hernán Castillo, attempts to dynamit the slopes to build a luxury mega-resort, Diego and Xóchitl must decide whether to repeat the tragic end of the legend... or if their current love is strong enough to break a five-hundred-year cycle. Between dreams, paintings that come to life, eruptions and ancestral rituals, this story mixes realistic magic, epic romance and the indomitable force of the Mexican land.
