2012 | Color | 61 min The documentary weaves the intimate love stories of three women from different generations: an adolescent, a middle-aged divorcee, and my 90-year-old Great Aunt. Through a careful exploration of space and color, inspired by technicolor melodramas of the 40s and 50s, I trace their experience, exploring the rooms they inhabit and the memories that remain in them, extracting their voice and their loves from a rich texture of archival material.

Mexico will no longer exist! 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.
