Los ausentes

Nicolas Pereda directs this film, as representative of the new Mexican cinema. 'Los ausentes' (The absents) is an exercise in symbolism that will not leave indifferent: it will be hated or admired. It tells the story of a man over seventy years old. One day a stranger shows up at his house and claims it as his own. The old man does not have the title, so he must attend the hearing to resolve the matter. After losing his house, the old man begins a journey in search of his past self. Through the mountains, the forests, the man will face his fears himself from young himself, on a journey with an uncertain end.
