A quien cierra los ojos
2022 | Color | 98:00

In the microcosm of a private school, the adults’ latent traumas coexist with the teenagers’ frantic search for identity. The school is a cruise ship anchored in asphalt. From somewhere within its walls, travelers might be able to glimpse intriguing ports, but no one finds the energy to disembark. The fruits of the past set down roots that imprison and immobilize anyone who closes their eyes in hopes of a lifeline.

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.”
