Violentas mariposas
2024 | Color | 101:17

A graffiti artist and the singer in a punk band meet in a context of profound social crisis and discontent. Their idealistic and revolutionary minds seek a world of justice, and they’re willing to fight for it. Music and street art unite them and serve as their weapons. They remain innocent to the power of impunity and injustice until they fall victim to police brutality. When justice is absent, revenge is an act of faith.

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.”
