A humble worker, several young thieves at dawn of violence, the dream of a better present that collides with the most cruel discrimination, a car that moves forward collecting the waste of the postmodern city.

In Exomologesis, the filmmaker and poet César González set out to show the consequences of a society governed by obedience and the consequences of this in times of neoliberalism. Unlike his previous films, in color and with many scenes shot outdoors, this is a black and white film that takes place in a two-room apartment, which allows us to see that an office can also be a closed institution.

Persephone is released from prison after three years. Returning to the neighborhood will present him with a new hell. Without a job, she gets the help of Juana who shelters her in her house and with whom she looks for some changa to survive.

A young girl receives the visit of a man who affirms he is “the death”. While pointing her with a gun, he proposes her a condition for the one he would forgive her life: that she give him a reason for the one she must keep living.
