Sisyphus is a journey through the rehabilitation of addictions in Mexico.

The annexes are unofficial rehabilitation centers in which a method of rehabilitation thought apart from medicine or professional therapy is offered.

Reportage explores the relationship between death and storytelling through the lens of tabloid journalism in Mexico City. Following the journey of a single tragedy—from crime scene to printed headline—the film reveals how photographers, reporters, and press workers transform violence into narrative. Alongside them, a group of former inmates re-enact the crime, this time not as perpetrators, but as actors. In prison, they found a stage; through performance, a way to confront the violence they once committed.
