It is the late sixties and a town is about to be drowned because the government decided to build a dam there. The inhabitants are exhorted, in one way or another, to abandon everything and start again somewhere else. Little by little the families succumb to the inevitable, except Violeta, who refuses to leave, abandon her dead, leave her roots. This is how she becomes the witness of everything that is happening: the corruption, the desolation, the sadness. With a mirror and a machete, she walks through the streets of the town, through the cemetery, attends her work in the church and, above all, resists. With a wonderful narrative voice, Suzette Celaya Aguilar builds a contained universe, in which The characters wander before a reality that is fading, where violence is exercised from different angles and, yet, manages to maintain a light that amalgamates all the eviction that is coming.
