Mitla, Oaxaca, Mexico. Spring 2020.

“I used to work in a Californian sushi restaurant. I was trained as a sushi chef’s apprentice and it’s where I learned to speak English. But after a while, I had to come back to here.

When I came back to my hometown I got this job and now I drive one of these orange things. You see these black geometric designs?
They are part of this place. The designs belong to Mitla.

They are everywhere, they are even part of our Catholic church. The designs belong to the history of the people of this place.”

Hi, I’m a filmmaker. Everyone’s got a story to tell. I was wondering what’s yours. Come by some time. See you soon. Bye Bye.
