A portrait of the inner conflicts of two women who wait in vain for their missing loved ones. Two stories separated by decades: Liliana’s, who lost her husband to organized crime in 2010; and Alicia’s, whose mother was disappeared by the Mexican Government in 1978, during the Dirty War. This documentary brings them together to illustrate the trials of memory itself, as well as the women’s everyday struggle not to disappear from life.

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.”
