Fiction

Dedication

1985 was the year when Mexico City and other states came together for a single purpose: finding survivors under the rubble caused by the earthquake that destroyed part of Mexico City that same year. We Mexicans have come together as a nation to focus on a single mission only a few times in history. Love and hope will never be destroyed.
 
A man who rescued his sister from underneath the rubble inspired this story. She lost her husband and son… Since then, she has been emotionally destroyed. More than 30 years have passed, the pain she feels is almost the same. Many people are dealing with such trance. These are scars that are hard to overcome. I hope this movie can reach people and tell them that when they lost their loved ones, they can't be forever in pain, because this will kill them. It's hard for me to see people going through this process with their wounds not healing.
 
The man who rescued his sister gave a new meaning to his own life. He never thought about what he was capable of doing and actually taught us a great lesson: nothing is impossible in life. A tragedy helps to save the lives of others and to find ourselves. That man was my father.
