In Exomologesis, the filmmaker and poet César González set out to show the consequences of a society governed by obedience and the consequences of this in times of neoliberalism. Unlike his previous films, in color and with many scenes shot outdoors, this is a black and white film that takes place in a two-room apartment, which allows us to see that an office can also be a closed institution.

A humble worker, several young thieves at dawn of violence, the dream of a better present that collides with the most cruel discrimination, a car that moves forward collecting the waste of the postmodern city.

Popular neighborhoods that are open-air prisons. Where beauty flirts with violence. The kingdom of the insubordinate children, veterans of the lead. A garden of amputated flowers, which with crutches on their backs, still grow and dance.

Persephone is released from prison after three years. Returning to the neighborhood will present him with a new hell. Without a job, she gets the help of Juana who shelters her in her house and with whom she looks for some changa to survive.
