Nicolasa Ruiz

Between her confinement and her virtual life, Consuelo is losing her sense of reality, dreaming of being free in a world where technology and nature merge into the same dimension.

Obāchan is Japanese. She left her native archipelago in 1941 to marry one of her compatriots, 17 years older, settled in Mexico. Through fragments of family films, manga and sequences that she has shot, Nicolasa Ruiz sculpts a complex and delicate memory landscape between the two shores of the Pacific.

"I have done many paintings of which I am proud, in the middle of the chaos, without money", responds the artist Julio Ruiz to the questionings of his daughter, who tries to make him a film portrait. For Ruiz, the value of being congruent with oneself carries more weight than the promises of stability offered by traditional daily life.

Set in future Puerto Rico, follows Zur'na's quest to rescue her kidnapped brother from US colonial forces, unveiling a system oppressing her people along the way, accompanied by talkative neighbor Vyeñu.

Esther, an 18 year-old from the North of Mexico, wakes up in Mexico City overwhelmed and alone. She completes her morning rituals and leaves her apartment to look for work. Wandering the city streets, she attempts to connect with strangers she meets, including a young delivery man who she follows discreetly to the house of a mysterious woman. There, Esther finds a kindred spirit and a companion for the end of the world.
