Synopsis

A village in the Sierra Madre is inhabited by the last representatives of an ancient Mixteco culture. Deprived of their identity by modern civilization, they are facing an even bigger threat: a landslide triggered by torrential rain that could completely destroy their village. The inhabitants of the Mixtec community conduct an anonymous geological survey of the area, hoping to be relocated to safer grounds. In the meantime, they must survive with limited resources and in a state of constant fear and anxiety. Despite its tragic side, Tzaska and Del Paso’s work succeeds at exposing the beautiful glimpses of the reality of the Mexican sierra.
