The construction of a dam turned the Mexican village of San Marcos into a waterlogged ghost town, but three families refuse to surrender their home to the flood. Even the constant, lurking threat of armed gangs roving the countryside and the loneliness of living amid ruins can’t deter them from their routines. They keep the tortillería open, weed the pavement in the town square, and rove the inundated streets in boats or on horseback. Betzabé García’s observational approach brings out the humor and eerie beauty of their singular situation.

Directed by Betzabé García and produced by Hugo Espinosa and Betzabé García. Special guest Alexandra Garcia. Presented with the support of the Reva and David Logan Foundation.
