During the six-year term of President Luis Echeverría, a Mexico-United States coexistence day was organized in Washington. American children and adults flocked to the cathedral, where Mexican dancers performed regional dances. It was a day of folk music, dances, Mexican crafts and food exhibitions.

A large part of the town of Juchitepec, State of Mexico, has left its place of origin to seek its fortune in the city. The survivors suffer the sale of their best land for agriculture to a pantheon. Death is a constant in a place where there is barely enough food.

This is one of the best Mexican short movies ever. You could probably imagine the Mexican idiosyncrasy, read some history books, but you will find a big difference and experience the feeling of the post-revolutionary age of Mexico with this film. Labor unions, the invasion of large scale and global foreign companies, the mother's love, the Mexican habits descriptions are part of this master piece. Adding the emotion of Jaime Sabine's narration voice in all the allegoric signs and metaphors. The problem is that is almost impossible to get a copy or to find it in Mexico, probably in Europe (I've heard it was restricted by the Mexican government in that period).
