A complex narrative of the lives of the first generation of women to come of age in Post- Soviet Russia, viewed through the prism of a beauty pageant staged by female inmates of a Siberian prison camp. Far from exploitation fare, this is a non-clinical character exploration carried out with compassion, depth and respect

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.”
