Resisting Life

Mexico City,1960. Aurelia lives a happy life with her husband, Andres, and their daughters, Leonor and Beatriz. When Aurelia is pregnant with their third child, Andres suddenly dies in an accident, and Aurelia is left to cope of her own. Years later, Leonor, the oldest daughter, has quit her studies to help her mother support the household. Beatriz, immersed in her music, lets life slip her by like a strange melody. Young Madia only has one interest in life: to seek new experiences. Aurelia starts to lose her sensibility to pain, and the familys life becomes so alienated and bizarre that it starts mirroring the surreal house they inhabit: both disintegrate in unison.
