On December 25th, 2019, my sister Evelyn captured something precious while visiting our grandmother in Mexico—an interview that none of us knew about and that would later become a cherished family heirloom. Just a year later, on December 31st, 2020, amidst the global pandemic, our beloved grandmother passed away. As the matriarch of our family, her absence left an immense void in our hearts, but we are grateful to hear her words and feel her presence to this day, thanks to this audio recording.
In her memory and to celebrate the wisdom and love she shared, I created this film by combining her voice from the audio recorded in Mexico with both archival and current footage captured in our childhood home, where we shared our lives with her. This film is a tribute to her incredible strength and a testament to the profound love she instilled in us all.
