Under the notion that "you can not change the future, but the past," a young woman who has grown up in a poor village in the highlands, embarks on a spiritual journey to Mexico City seeking to break the cycle of family alienation and find hope. Fate will return to the source to destroy and start over.
Direction
Benet treats Mexico City as both antagonist and confessor.
Cinematography
Highland desolation vs. urban overwhelm — every frame aches.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Benet filmed in actual highland communities rarely represented in Mexican cinema, using non-professional actors from those villages.
The title's Spanish original ('Noticias del Altiplano') references both news from afar AND news from the highlands — the protagonist is simultaneously messenger and message.
