Synopsis

Through the memories of Mexico City residents, we write this farewell letter to the palm trees of the metropolis. Almost a hundred years after their arrival, more than 75% have died, foretelling the extinction of an entire species. The postcard of a tropical city has been replaced by that of a withered dream that compels us to delve into our memories and question our relationship with the environment.
