Rituales
2026 | Color | 15:28
Two teenage friends are living out their final days together at a migrant shelter in Mexico City: one will stay, one will return home. Around them, thousands of migrants navigate the same impossible question as the northern border remains virtually closed. In the midst of that uncertainty, it is the small routines; dance, karaoke and shared meals, that make a temporary place feel human. Rituales is a portrait of compassion in an uncertain journey
