Summary:

"Choibá: The dance of the Yubarta whale is a work that transcends the simple documentary observation to become an introspective experience. With a hypnotic photograph, an enveloping sound design and a narrative that flows between science and ancestral knowledge, the film reminds us that nature is not just a spectacle to be observed, but an entity with which we can connect to a deeper level. Simón González gives us a documentary that, as its protagonist, travels between dimensions: that of knowledge, that of emotion and that of the sacred. In a world where the oceans are threatened, Choibá reminds us that listening to whale singing is also listening to a call for preservation and respect for the planet."-- From Cine Didyme Dome.
