A simple and yet amazing film. Everything happens inside of the appartement of a middle class family while disconnected from the outside. It shows the atrocities of power and inhumanity of authorities during the 1968 student movement in Mexico. Tlatelolco is the stage of a massacre. Jorge Fons (director) and Xavier Robles (screenwriter) brings an ingenious way of denouncing the oppression and fear in the Tres Culturas square. There's always the claustrophobia, for not being able to scape. Nowhere is safe. They have to hide their identities. The militaries don't even care if the head of the family is a well connected bureaucrat. And the day after nothing ever happened. Just a clean square without bodies to be seen. It's a sour sensation of injustice. This is an essential film that preserves the memory of those fallen by the hand of a government ruled by mad men.
