2014년 9월 26일, 멕시코에서 6명이 사망하고 43명의 학생이 사라진다. 중국의 활동가이자 예술가인 아이웨이웨이는 실종자 가족의 이야기를 통해 사라진 이들을 복귀시킨다. 영화는 전통적인 다큐멘터리 형식을 통해 기교를 덜어내고 숫자로만 말해질 수 없는 개별적 비극과 역사를 드러내는 진술에 집중한다. 인터뷰는 사라진 아이들이 가족에게 사랑스럽고 소중한 존재일 뿐만 아니라 의지를 가지고 삶의 변화를 모색한 ‘사회적 실체’로서의 인간임을 드러낸다. 멕시코 정부의 인도주의적 위기를 보여주는 이 작품은 진실이 규명되지 않았을 뿐 아니라, 실종으로 인해 미지의 존재로 남은 아이들이 가족에게는 영원히 현존하는 ‘살아 있는 자’임을 이야기하고 있다.

Vicente (Gabino Rodríguez) is a young farmer in a rural village who scrapes by while taking care of his ill grandmother. Several of Vicente’s uncles intend to their ailing mother’s land without her knowledge. Vicente seeks help from the municipal president who, between shooting hoops on a desolate court, tells him that if he wants justice, he must head to the capital to meet with government officials. Although he hasn’t seen her since he was a child, Vicente sets off in search of his mother, who works as a maid in maze-like Mexico City. With the help of his mother’s employer, a sophisticated middle-aged woman, he finds the government offices where he presents his case. His situation isn’t easily resolved, especially since he does not have the deed to his grandmother’s plot of land, and Vicente finds the complexities of the legal system to be completely overwhelming.
