Matriarchal agreement: Family stories


A story framed in the grandfather's house, where the past and the present coexist together, in a city trapped in time.
The one portrayed is Alan, the macho grandfather's grandson. Alan wears "exclusive" women's clothing, he also wears earrings and long hair, so in the family his appearance is strange, like a girl. He doesn't care what they say.

Every day we try to be better people, with more empathy towards us.
Some of the oldest houses in this small town are made of a material called "adobe" or "mud". These walls have witnessed many events over time.
The machete is a tool widely used by farmers in Mexico to work in the fields, but it is also          used to fight and hurt people.
Alan and Grandpa's Machete.

The empty room in the house, dirty sheets, old furniture and covered in dust.
The new kitchen of the house.
Alan in the old kitchen, sitting on the "stove", dressed in his grandmother's apron, that grandmother who loves her children and grandchildren.
In the backyard.
Complicated paths.
Waiting for your arrival with love.
We can use utensils from the house but also from the cultivation field, we can be happy.
The walls hide many stories, joys and sadness.
You always have to come home with a new lesson learned...
