An actress, Brigitte, is playing Barbara in a film that soon begins shooting. Brigitte works on her character: her voice, the songs and scores, her gestures, her knitting, the lines she has to learn. Things move along. The character grows inside her—invades her, even. Yves, the director, is also working: through in-person encounters, archival footage, and music. He seems inhabited and inspired by her… but by whom? Brigitte or Barbara?

Mexico will no longer exist!

¡Aoquic iez in Mexico! ¡Ya México no existirá más!

A frenetic view runs over a convulsed Mexico City, a colossal metropolis sustained by the myth of "mestizaje" and other colonial forms of violence. Past and present weave a flurry of images; fragmented memories of this land. Ancient deities are incarnated, while dreams overlap among intimacy, complicity and the tumult. This is an erratic film that invites us to reimagine the complex relationship we have with the constructed “mexicanidad.”
