Ola Nephew: Día de Muertos — Mexican Day of the Dead

October 24, 2026, 7:00 PM

Cinema Forum, Legionowa 5

ticket: 25 zł

Why did the skull become the national totem of Mexico? Is it good if we get a sugar skull with our own name on the Feast of the Dead? How to make the deceased come to us as a guest? What do the Mesziki, the Spaniards and... James Bond have in common with the celebration of Día de Muertos?

We invite you to celebrate together the Mexican Day of the Dead, a holiday that we will try to explain and tame. We will travel to Mexican cities, towns and villages to talk to Mexicans and understand what death is and was for them.
