Subte. (Ximena Monroy, Paola de la Concha. Mexico.) 5:58 min.

Multiple encounters among strangers with the thread of a spacial composition and the body distribution at Buenos Aires’ subway. Accumulation takes a protagonic role between scenes, questioning the horizontal distribution in this space, the indifference and interaction among people pushing, hanging, kicking, gesticulating and stopping, inside the limited space of the metro porteño.
