Mexico, 2009/80 min. | English subtitles
Scr/Dir: Pedro Daniel López; w/ Pascuala Díaz Gómez, Flavio López Jiménez, Dolores Santiz Gómez, Floriano Enrique Ronyk
Dolores Santiz, Pascuala Díaz Gómez, Floriano Enrique Ronyk, and Flavio Jiménez have left their communities in Chiapas to study in the city of San Cristóbal de las Casas. As they set off to pursue their dreams, they struggle with isolation and the stigma of being young and indigenous in an urban and often unwelcoming environment. This moving and intimate portrayal of urban migration captures four youths who find the resolve to maintain their identities in the city and the courage to stand up for what they believe in.
