      10 years later, when he comes to live with her, she is forced to choose between her duties as a mother and continuing her revolutionary activism.
      After winning the Camera d’Or with Our Mothers, César Díaz returns with the tense and intimate thriller MEXICO 86, inspired by his own story.
