?Snow does not fall to cover the hill, but for every beast to leave its trail.? Six women, an old man, four girls and a young boy live in the war-ravaged and isolated village of Slavno. Their families and friends have been killed and their bodies have never been found. The first snow brings more isolation and threatens life in the village. Alma, a young, stubborn woman believes they can survive and find their way out of poverty by selling plum jam and other fruits and vegetables on a deserted road. Two businessmen visit Slavno and demand that the residents leave the village in exchange for money. Villagers face a dilemma: should they accept the offer that could save their lives, but destroy their souls? A sudden snow storm leaves the businessmen stranded in Slavno, forcing them to face a problem bigger than anything they expected -the truth.

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.”
