A Day Without a Mexican Page #7

Synopsis: A thick fog surrounds California's borders, communication beyond state lines is cut off, and the Mexicans disappear: workers, spouses, and business owners are missing. Cars are abandoned in the street, food is left cooking on the stove. We meet the wife of a musician who's gone, a state Senator whose maid doesn't show up for work, and a farm owner whose produce is ripe and unpicked. A scientist asks any Mexicans who haven't disappeared to volunteer for genetic experiments: a female newscaster and the daughter of the musician may be the only missing links around. Why them? And where have all the Mexicans gone? Even the border guards grieve. The state and its economy grind to a halt.

Any Mexican one was destroyed

in the filming of this film

In memory of

Parallel universes,

It was as in this film,

Contact

I love that film,

Was this a warning?

The nature reminds us

that our destiny is united

that our life form

it depends on everything us

our work

He/she listens, the General Office

he/she called for a meeting

of emergency in the capital, him

we needed immediately

forget, it cancels that orders,

take the time deles/delas

Who smokes a cigarette?

Why we tell everything

those lies?

Where this the weapons

of bulky destruction?
