Jon is strong, handsome and old-fashioned. His buddies call him Don Jon due to his ability to attract women, but he’s happiest watching pornography. Barbara is bright, beautiful and old-fashioned. Raised on romantic movies, she’s looking for her prince charming and to live happily ever after. Wrestling with traditional expectations of the opposite sex, both struggle against a media culture full of false fantasies as they look for true intimacy.

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.”

Zinzindurrunkarratz

Oskar Alegría embarks on a journey to recover the past. With a Super-8 camera that once belonged to his father and has remained untouched for 41 years, he plans to retrace the path of the shepherd: the journey of transhumance that his grandfather undertook in his youth, following now-forgotten coordinates. The result is a film that delights in the search —as well as the many detours along the way.
