At the end of March 1993, following torrential rains in Azuay and Cañar, the Josefina disaster devastated Cuenca. In 1994, the fictional documentary feature film Tahual was shot to reflect this tragedy. El milagro revisits one of its scenes, bridging 1994 and the present. Director Carlos Pérez Agustí, along with original actors Segundo Narváez, Humberto Coronel, and Sergio Galvis, restages the moment when the dammed waters were released. Through cinema’s artifice, time is frozen, merging past and present in a dreamlike meditation on memory, catastrophe, and the persistence of images.
