INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE

Man stands in a small, undecorated patio area with clotheslines strung along metal pipes. Sneakers hang from the clotheslines and a dog rests on the concrete ground.

A visual ode to the Mexican worker in shades of gray, My Dear Escandón follows the story of Omar Rodríguez “Ori” who inherited his trade par excellence, blacksmithing, after the death of his father. On board a bike-taxi restored by Ori as a personal vehicle, he and Pogo take us on a nostalgic tour of the historic Escandón neighborhood In Mexico City. A journey through the eyes of a grieving son, who refuses to let himself be overcome by adversity.
