A camera pan across tight façades on a narrow street of a Mexican city, a child on a balcony, telephone wires framing clouds - such striking images of place stay with me. Carolina Rueda's deft camera constructs the backdrop of a compelling story of two children who grew up in the wake of revolutionary parents' clandestine decisions. The intentional use of two languages both spoken and in text as an assertive aesthetic is both an innovation and a pleasure.
Plot summary
In the mid-nineties while living in Mexico, the U.S. journalist, Leam Gaertner, and his wife, Fiona, had two sons: Nico and Sebastián. Political threats prompted the couple's relocation to Ava, Oklahoma, where tragedy also occurred. Eighteen years later, after struggling with his father, who became a bitter man, and with the disappearance of his mother, Sebastian travels by road from Oklahoma to Mexico to find his long-gone brother, Nico. Sebastian is determined to unveil the buried secrets that destroyed their family in the past.
