A young filmmaker travels to the community his father grew up in and discovers a town caught between hopelessness and resilience. Mexico City's urban sprawl has pushed gangs and drugs into nearby Santa Lucía, a once-quiet town of dirt roads and hard-working families. Today, the threat of violence is everywhere and young men either enrol in the army or end up hustling for a cartel. There is little for youth to do and it's not uncommon for people to be killed over the smallest indiscretion. In a diaristic style reminiscent of Jonas Mekas, director M. Sebastian Molina immerses himself in his younger cousins' lives and the significant changes they've witnessed, capturing their stories in a highly textured and impressionistic manner. His camera is like a prism, weaving together a fever dream of visuals that are both raw and immediate as he searches for identity and his own sense of belonging in Santa Lucía. Vivian Belik
