The Chicago-based Mexican playwright and director Roma Díaz (founder of the Tecolote Theater Company) makes his fiction feature debut alongside Enrique Gaona, Jr. with this compassionate, deeply moving tale about the friendship between an aging, dying Mexican immigrant and a young Colombian college student. Miguel left Mexico at a young age, giving up his passion for music and singing. Now he is alone, without family, friends or money. Dalia, the college student, and neighbor, lends more than a sympathetic ear to his anecdotes and reflections; she encourages him to reconnect with friends and family as he faces death.

No more video calls. In these two months of quarantine, the screens become sound skins. Virtual communication platforms brings us a multitude of invitations to participate in live videos, lectures, courses and loves online. Life quickly became minimized to screens and through it, ghostly images come in and out of my house. However, one does not feel the connection. The more video calls, more distance, more emptiness and more loneliness behind the monitor. I do not want any more video calls, I want future meetings where bodies rub together without fear of contagion.
