In the mountain range of Oaxaca, lie the remains of what once was a shelter for wild children. In 1986, a psychoanalyst priest, Juan Felipe de Jesús, documented in dozens of videotapes the rough process of reincorporating them into society, a process that was interrupted by a tragic fire that marked Juan Felipe and the feral children’s fate. In the nearest village a mysterious silence is still kept.
