Papel
Sofía is putting up missing-posters of her missing boyfriend Luis all over town. Copies of his picture surround her. Luis is one of the more than 80.000 missing persons in Mexico. At night Sofía faces a recurring dream: Little by little her world transforms into paper. First the birds, then the ground, her room, until even death is made of paper. Papel tells this Mexican story of mourning and hope in black and white still images.
