From the desert of Zapotitlán Salinas in Puebla, Mexico: What memory do we choose to forget and can we belong without language? Can home be somewhere without a place? What happens when you realise the dream of home belongs to a community who have stopped dreaming? Can you revive the dream?
An unidentified witness writes a letter to home and tries to alter the trajectory of a world unraveling. Through the letter we get a fleeting glimpse into the sacred and political reality of a dream.
From daybreak into the night, punctuated by the silence found behind the hills, Swedish-French auteur Anna Senno lends her voice to portray the traffic of a lone tope—a speed bump—on a narrow highway in the cactus desert of Zapotitlán Salinas, Puebla, Mexico. The contrasted sequences of people and vehicles, all slowing down to cross this tope, merge personal and collective realities into a choreography about time, memory, and belonging.
