2024 | Color | 121:19

Raúl, a lawyer, undergoes emergency surgery, losing his tongue and ability to speak. This changes his life and his relationship with his wife and kids. Elodia, their housekeeper, gives him a parrot that only knows how to swear. The bird becomes Raúl’s imaginary interlocutor and Elodia—who gives more credence to miracle cures and prayers than to the possibilities of medicine—his sui generis nurse.

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.
