Letters From a Distance

The COVID-19 pandemic changed the dynamics of communication, transportation, work and interaction of societies in Mexico and the world, but for the patients hospitalized by the virus, all possibilities of contact with their own were closed.

The patients suspected of having COVID-19 are isolated from the moment they enter the medical units, without the certainty of being infected, with the uncertainty of survival and in total solitude.

¡De panzazo!

¡De panzazo! reflects the reality of education in Mexico and evidences that Mexican society barely passes in a system that is exclusive and does not include important life lessons. The film shows parents, school headmasters, teachers, civil servants, union representatives and opinion leaders drawing a global picture that does not allow for the viewers indifference.
