Elvira Liceaga, Paulina Flores and Tania Tagle in conversation with Miguel de la Cruz

Querétaro 2025, 

Both Elvira Liceaga, in Las vigilantes, and Tania Tagle, in Fauce, explore the complexities of bereavement and female relationships. Liceaga does so through the link among three women marked by loss; Tagle, through the voice of a mother who must speak to her son about death. In La próxima vez que te vea, te mato by Paulina Flores, the grief lies in the future —or perhaps not—, since the protagonist is trapped in the midst of a polyamorous relationship. In conversation with Miguel de la Cruz.
