Sisyphus

Sisyphus is a journey through the rehabilitation of addictions in Mexico. In the absence of a public infrastructure to combat this problem, the annexes are the alternative that addicts themselves have created. The annexes are unofficial rehabilitation centers in which a method of rehabilitation thought apart from medicine or professional therapy is offered.

The Dead

The Dead reveals the lives of Mexico’s most privileged youth, sketching out how money can be a force that can imprison and blind one to surrounding social and political realities. It shows the uncomfortable friction between a Mexico where nothing happens and another Mexico in which many things happen. In the midst of all this, an unexpected accident symbolizes the emergence of Mexico from the horror of its void.
