An exploration of the place where I spent my childhood: the house of my grandparents. From that space memory is reconstructed, with the intention of seeing through the eyes of childhood in search of another perspective of life and death, past and present.

Machine Man is a documentary that explores memory through the encounter of two voices: that of the group Cabezas de Cera, which engages in a dialogue with the past through the musical accompaniment of the silent film “México Industrial,” and the voice of Don Rutilio, who, through oral accounts, constructs a memory of his life when he worked as a laborer at the Metepec Cotton Spinning, Weaving, and Finishing Factory, a film portrayed decades earlier by the group that currently provided the music.
