A boy and his father disappear one morning, snatched off the road by armed men. Left behind, alone with her daughter, Lulu, a victim who refuses to give in, decides to tell the unacceptable story: the unfillable void, the absence of loved ones, the unanswered questions and the suffocating silence. A poignant film on a part of current Mexican history that must be told at all costs.
The Tiniest Place
On the surface El lugar más pequeño (The Tiniest Place) is the story of Cinquera, a village literally wiped off the official map during El Salvador's 12-year civil war.

An emotional and evocative journey, steeped not only in loss and pain, but also in love, dignity and resistance.
