2011 | Color | 113 min Alex and Nica are young, in love and engaged to be married. The summer before their wedding, they go backpacking in the Caucasus Mountains in Georgia. The couple hire a local guide to lead them on a camping trek, and the three set off into a stunning wilderness, a landscape that is both overwhelmingly open and frighteningly closed. Walking for hours, they trade anecdotes, and play games to pass the time. And then, a momentary misstep, a gesture that takes only two or three seconds, a gesture that´s over almost as soon as it begins. But once it is done, it can´t be undone.

Mexico will no longer exist! 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.” See More
