A documentary short film that takes the urubú or black-headed vulture (Coragyps atratus) —a scavenger bird widely present across the Americas— as its starting point to reflect on life, death and the natural cycles that sustain ecosystems.
In May 2025, the short film was awarded the Puma de los Andes at the Santiago Wild Film Festival (Chile), in recognition of its direction. The award consolidates the work of Atenea Films in the field of environmental cinema and reinforces our commitment to telling stories that invite audiences to look at nature from new angles.
The distinction at Santiago Wild —one of the most relevant nature and conservation film festivals in Latin America— represents a milestone in the trajectory of Atenea Films and a motivation to keep producing works that connect audiences with the natural world.
The short film features original music by Edú Díaz Coitinho, whose soundtrack accompanies and deepens the sensory experience of the piece.
