Looking for Zorro

View on the Pragda STREAM site

Looking for Zorro follows Pablo, a single father, and his nine‑year‑old son Rafael, who embark on a rugged journey across the mountains of the Dominican Republic, searching for a horse named “Zorro.” Emotionally distant after the absence of Rafael’s mother, the pair must confront unresolved grief, intergenerational trauma, and resilience within father‑son bonds.

Directed by Wigner Duarte, Looking for Zorro evokes neorealist aesthetics and regional specificity. Its sparse, terrain‑driven cinematography by Domini Alcántara underscores themes of emotional distance and reconciliation amidst the rural topography (which symbolically merges Dominican and Caribbean geographies).

Blending personal storytelling with ethnographic texture, Looking for Zorro interrogates masculinity, rural identity, and affective labor through cinematic form.
