Frédéric Laffont and Isabelle Dupuy Chavanat take us on a journey to the heart of the Hermès ateliers. Men and women work diligently with the materials, using their knowledge, patience and passion to create a unique object that transcends time. They combine gestures, words, gazes and silences with the sensual and sensorial during this confrontation of man and matter: The moment the object is created... This film is a tribute to the artisans who participated in various Hermès workshops. Isabelle Dupuy-Chavanat and Frédéric Laffont have captured the sounds of leather and crystal, the sweet sound of silk and metal, the words of men and women and their silences.

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.”
