This is the portrait of the lifestyle of an indigenous community in Michoacán. It shows a family around the parhankua, a Purepecha stove, where they return to the timeless tradition of gathering around the fire and sharing, doing much more than just cooking food. Delicious talk seasoned with anecdotes and pirekuas (songs) are savored by the warmth in the night, as the family relives stories again and again.

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.”
