THE INVISIBLE CONTRACT
Mexico 2024 – Director: Luciana Kaplan – Original language: Spanish – Subtitles: English – Length: 85 min.
They scrub, they sweep, they pick up rubbish. Luciana Kaplan’s film is a portrait of women in Mexico who work in the cleaning industry. What they tell us, shows us how disregarded their mostly overlooked occupation is. What we see are people with personalities. The film approaches the reality of precarious employment with sensitivity and respect. Samay Claro
