Our take
Mexican director Enrique Rivero (Parque Via) takes on a slow and meditative pace in this moving, minimalist story about a woman’s return home to care for her dying mother. To the rural backdrop of Xochimilco, Mai morire explores the passage of time and the emotional challenges of palliative care.
