Fuensanta “La Moneta” is a contemporary flamenco dancer and choreographer. In her dance studio she prepares a new show with her students, however, everything changes when one of her students, Israeli and Jewish, gives her the book “La Cabellera de la Shoá” that Félix Grande wrote during his visit to the concentration camps. of Auschwitz and that marked his work to the point of being his last book. Fuensanta devours every poem by Félix Grande and can't stop thinking about those tons of accumulated hair, about the captive gypsies and the Jewish women marching towards certain death. It is then that he turns his show around and the goal is to visit Auschwitz to imbue himself with silence and look at it head-on. After convincing his manager, Raúl, he starts a retrospective in his show to mix dance, literature, music and the silent interpretation of millions of silent lives. Choosing three students in the cast will not be a comfortable task and each one will discover that "La Cabellera de Shoá" is a greater link in their daily lives than they imagined. This is how the whole story lands and becomes social.

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.”
