What Burn the Bridges Is About

In a crumbling mansion in Zacatecas, a teenage brother and sister live with their dying mother. They have almost no ties to the outside, and their dependence on each other has grown dangerous over time; neither has a life they could build alone. As the mother weakens the balance inside the house begins to break down and everything coming from outside looks like a threat. The film neither explains this relation nor judges it; it shows what growing up in a closed house does. The account moves slowly and builds its tension through space rather than speech. Irene Azuela appears in Francisco Franco Alba’s hundred minute Mexican film, completed in 2007.
