Beyond My Head

Stories about life and death during the Day of the Dead season.

Antony, a nurse shaped by his father's early absence and the death of his best friend, moves through his days in a quiet state of disconnection. One night, he encounters a mysterious old man who claims to be a “translator of problems.” Among the buildings of Tlatelolco, hospital wards, and the hidden streets of Mexico City, the two embark on a journey where, little by little, they help each other heal and reframe their understanding of family, death, and salsa.

After the last breath of her elderly husband, Maria experiences a brief suicide attempt that will take her into a journey throughout all her memories alongside him with the purpose of finding a true meaning to life, beyond marriage.
