Bordering in concentric circles around the phenomenon of the murders committed against women in Juárez, Chihuahua, this documentary centers on a mother who loses her daughter and a maquiladora worker recently arrived from Veracruz who comes to represent Juarez´s living women. Two journalists specializing in the case explain what is behind the rash of killings. Violence against women is lived and interpreted in different ways.

Música ocular

Do deaf people dream with music? A group of deaf young people from the coast of Oaxaca choose their own stories for the first film made entirely in Mexican Sign Language. In the process, we encounter a culture that is 100% visual and witness the construction of a cinematographic collective dream. Eye Music interweaves silent films, music for the deaf and longing thoughts.
