Based on a folktale from the Acoma Pueblo Native Americans of the southwest, this beautifully animated film tells the story of a mysterious boy's search for his father, the God of the Sun. Animation design is based on the themes of Acoma art; the story mirrors Western themes found in the tale of Phoebus and the life of Christ.
