Ruthie and Or, mother and daughter, live in a small Tel Aviv flat. Ruthie has been a prostitute for the last twenty years, and Or has tried many times without success to get her off the streets. The daily routine of the 17-year-old Or is an endless succession of petty jobs: washing dishes in a restaurant, cleaning staircases, and collecting deposit bottles while attending high school whenever she can. Ruthie?s health is worsening. After her mother?s umpteenth visit to the hospital, Or decides that this time, things must change for good

Sujo

When a cartel gunman is killed, he leaves behind Sujo, his beloved 4-year-old son. The shadow of violence surrounds Sujo during each stage of his life in the isolated Mexican countryside. As he grows into a man, Sujo finds that fulfilling his father’s destiny may be inescapable.

Sujo

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.”
