What happens

Tatana es una película del año 2005. Un niño de doce años deja a su abuela como cada mañana para ir a trabajar en el campo con los hombres. Mientras trabajan, oyen extrañas voces venir del pueblo. Mandan al niño a ver qué ocurre y este descubre que la anciana convoca a los espíritus de los muertos.
