SYNOPSIS
Resembling a constellation of ideas and sentiments of a (still) wounded land, the taxi ride of the filmmaker through Mexico City interweaves Bernal Díaz del Castillo’s account of “The True History of the Conquest of New Spain”; from there sprouts the echoes of violence and what remains in silence.
