Macdo captures a Mexico City family's Christmas Eve in 1997 through the lens of a home video camera, revealing the intricate balance between affection and control. As we witness a seemingly warm celebration, the film peels back layers of family dynamics, exposing how love and power intersect in complex ways that blur the boundaries between closeness and dominance.

Juan and his urban family live in the Mexican countryside, where they enjoy and suffer a world apart. And nobody knows if these two worlds are complimentary or if they strive to eliminate one another.
