LOS SUPER AMIGOS

Work: For some, simply a routine, an occupation. For others, the hope for a better life, perhaps a means of rehabilitation. For yet others, an enslaving thief of time. Midlife: To look back, or to look ahead? To race against time, or to sit and watch the minutes tick away? Money: In spite of it, or because of it? Risking everything. Risking nothing.
“Los Super Amigos”, a sign-making business, provides the setting for the stories that unfold around the lives of the people who, day in and day out, share a cramped work space, producing some of the hand-painted signs that dot the urban landscape of Mexico City. Whether struggling to stay afloat, or waiting to sink along with the ship, either is preferable in the company of others. Seven individuals talk about what keeps people together.
