Directed by Antonia Sofía Silva Alvarado
Irma, a woman originally from the Chinantla, a small region located in the state of Oaxaca in Mexico, migrates to Mexico City. As she navigates the streets of this new environment, she engages in a dialogue with herself in her native language, chinanteco. With each word, memories of a past life in which Irma was a jaguar roaming the vast chinantec region start to emerge.
