Esther, an 18-year-old girl from northern Mexico, wakes up in Mexico City overwhelmed and alone. She completes her morning rituals and leaves her apartment looking for a job. Wandering through the streets of the city, she tries to connect with the strangers that she meets, including a young deliveryman who she discreetly follows to the house of a mysterious woman. There she finds a soulmate and a partner for the end of the world.

Obachan

The story of a Japanese woman who left her native archipelago in 1941 to marry a compatriot living in Mexico, a man 17 years her senior. Through fragments of home moves, anime, and filmed sequences, the director sculpts a complex and delicate memory landscape between the two shores of the Pacific.
