A group of UNAM students and their teacher prepare Antigone, a Greek tragedy that addresses the conflict between the rules of power and the will of a young woman to do the right thing. Life, theater and fiction are interwoven following the montage in the halls, in their homes, in public spaces and surrealist landscapes of the city.
A sensory approach on the hands that work the earth, heirs of a language and an ancestral knowledge to never forget the roots.
Jorge and Roberta have been separated for several years. They simply come from opposite worlds: he likes an uncomplicated life in the jungle, while she prefers a more urban existence. He is Mexican and she is Italian, and she has decided to return to Rome with their five-year-old son, Natan. But before they leave, Jorge wishes to take young Natan on a trip, hoping to teach him about his Mayan origins in Mexico. At first the boy is physically and emotionally uncomfortable with the whole affair, and gets seasick on the boat taking them to their destination. But as father and son spend more time together, Natan begins a learning experience that will remain with him forever.

Intimate and fascinating portrait of Fernando, also known as El Suicida and El Negro, a bull fighter in the slums of the Mexican Yucutan Peninsular. Sometimes he is a charming host to the film makers, often he is known blind drunk and aggressive towards his wife. He isn't old but he's already covered in psychological and physical scars.
