SYNOPSIS

[EN] In a hidden corner of Mexico City, Guillermo (Guillermo Díaz Madrid) is led to a public market where the music video “Ken-koku” by the Japanese HipHop group QN/K feat. Botsu begins to resound. Among murals inherited from the era of the muralist movement, he encounters strange figures that dwell in their shadows. Rushing up a staircase, he comes face to face with a mural by Isamu Noguchi. At that instant, the music stops, and the scene transforms into an everyday image of a family. What begins with the introduction of the daughter’s foreign boyfriend soon reveals deep fractures within the household, erupting into contradictory testimonies about the death of the absent eldest daughter, Norma. Under the unsettling chords of a cello, words unravel, space deforms, and the murals seem to devour the characters. Left alone is the second daughter, Dita (Edith Pérez García), tattooed and isolated, dancing in solitude. When her dance closes the drama, time rewinds, and the opening music video returns—transformed, haunting, and unresolved.
