Macdo captures a Mexico City family's Christmas Eve in 1997 through the lens of a home video camera, revealing the intricate balance between affection and control. As we witness a seemingly warm celebration, the film peels back layers of family dynamics, exposing how love and power intersect in complex ways that blur the boundaries between closeness and dominance.
