LOS QUE SE QUEDAN
FAMILIES TORN APART BY EMIGRATION
Although we hear a great deal about immigration, an enormously important subject in Mexico, we know very little about what happens in the places inhabited by the relatives of those who cross to the other side. Something changes deep down in the cities, villages, communities and families of those who stay behind. What happens to them? How does the truncated family transform? What happens in a community full of parents with no children, children with no parents and wives with no husbands? What happens in villages with no youngsters, without half of their inhabitants?
Los que se quedan, the new film from Juan Carlos Rulfo after En el hoyo (2006), screened here a few years back, looks at these problems through the day-to-day lives of the protagonists, the everyday aspect, the home. There they describe their lives, their fears and frustrations, their dreams and hopes, while time passes and people go and come, or simply go.
