Synopsis

Explores the history of kraft paper in Mexico, a material crucial to the country’s modernization. Once used to wrap cement for state-sponsored construction projects, this resilient paper now survives only in fragments—trees, objects, and the memories of the workers who produced it. Through interviews and nostalgic imagery, the story reflects on Mexico’s industrial past and the faded infrastructure that shaped its modernity.
