Our take
Pairing hectic Mexico City with agricultural routines on a rural ranch, Iván Ávila Dueñas’ unusual documentary draws a sonic connection between seemingly disparate living environments. A compelling study of female interiority and aspiration, the film privileges the micro-details of everyday life.
