When I Shut My Eyes
2019, Spanish. Directed by Sergio Blanco Martín & Michelle Ibaven.
The isolation of Adela and Marcelino is common among many inmates processed without an interpreter in their native language before the Mexican justice system. Through their subjective experience, the dreams and memories they preserve of their lands in prison, they express in two voices the disorientation and the need to resist against exclusion by telling their story.
