Maze of Joy

On the outskirts of the town of Izamal, in the heart of Yucatán, Mexico, the Oxte family live a life of small joys and inspiring familial love. Elena and her two sons, Liam and Janielle, spend their days cooking, playing with their pets, biking, knitting, and spinning tops in their backyard. We experience the depth of their care for each other by spending a day with them and a dream with them. Their dream, taking them to the ruins of the Mayan temples, playing amongst the lost structures and pools, enjoying the land where they were once kings.
