peregrinos - pilgrims

Pilgrims in Tlayacapan, Mexico, return from a long religious journey to Chalma. One of the pilgrims died in a bicycle accident two days before the day I made this video. The procession decides to interrupt the traditional way to the town and visit the funeral. The parents share food and drinks with the visitors.
Some takes were made hidden, since in Mexico (and other places, I suppose) there is an implicit prohibition to make videos inside a funeral. Inside the house I just held the recording camera near my stomach.
