A sombre tale in luscious black-and-white that exposes the raw violence and sharp contrasts of the Mexican capital. Garbage collectors Jonathan and Yesi are in love — something they try to hide from Mr. Clean, their despotic employer. However, the discovery of a body among the containers sets off a sordid spiral into hell that will leave no one unscathed. Inspired by Amat Escalante, Lipkes’s mise en scène portrays the inexorable cruelty of everyday life, though is not without a glimmer of hope.
