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.

Extinción de la especie

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.
