I dream you and you are not here
Documental | México | 2021 | 14 min | Español
Juanita wanders between reality and her dreams. A crime that she didn’t commit condemned her to a life of absences.
Juanita's love for Don Ricardo goes beyond death and she continues to serve him by caring for her son Arturo, who over the years has learned to call her mother. Arturo is in jail, because he suffers from schizophrenia and in a moment of crisis he murdered his father.
In Juanita's absences, I recognized mine and understood that although our stories are different, we share feelings, longings and a deep love for someone who is no longer there.Telling her story is a privilege for me and I hope that those who see it can also recognize their own absences in it.
