Learn to fly!

In the vicinity of Tajín, several schools teach the art of the Papantla Flyers, attended by Dana, Said, Jairo, and Sarahí. These four children introduce us to the magic of this Totonac dance. As they train to become flyers, they share legends of how new generations can fly and save the region from drought. To achieve flight, they must overcome fear, practice discipline, and keep dreaming like all children.
