Summary:
"Exposes the ever-intensifying phenomenon of enforced disappearance in Mexico. A boy and his father disappear one morning, snatched off the road by armed men. Left behind, alone with her daughter, Lulu, a victim who refuses to give in, decides to tell the unacceptable story: the unfillable void, the absence of loved ones, the unanswered questions and the suffocating silence. After 5 years, absence has her living in a limbo that gives way to desire, hope and the struggle to find her 9-year old son Brandon and her husband, alive."--Container. Lulú despierta en el silencio de una casa que quedó vacía. Hace cinco años que desaparecieron su esposo y su hijo Brandon, de ocho años. La ausencia que dejaron atrás ahora la hace vivir en un limbo donde también habitan el deseo, la esperanza y la lucha por encontrarlos todavía con vida.
