A video travelogue of the ancient Popotla barrio in México City. An emotionally charged place, it hosts the burned remains of “the sad night tree”: a giant ahuehuete said to mark the place where Spanish Conquistador Hernán Cortés collapsed weeping after suffering a humilliating defeat at the hands of Tenochtitlán´s inhabitants. This video attempts to paint a picture of my mental state while walking across the streets of Popotla, juxtaposing images from the past and present to the music of Guillermo Guevara a.k.a Kampion.
