Transcript

00:00This is the story of a family that was forced to leave their home in the middle of the night.

00:19On Sundays we get up at 10 in the morning because it's Sunday.

00:24I like it because it's not so easy to do it during the week.

00:27We do it because it's Saturday or Sunday.

00:36Well, the truth is that around here, there aren't many things that we can hold on to.

00:42Well, to be honest, we hardly go to the movies because the tickets are so expensive.

00:57Don't forget to pass the boards.

00:59No, no, no.

01:01Ok, let's go.

01:06Many, for example, from the center of the country, or where there is no sea,

01:11many come here to cool off.

01:14Also foreigners come to enjoy the beaches.

01:18When I was little, I didn't know that the beaches were private.

01:22There are children here in Quintana Roo who don't know the sea.

01:25The beach for Mexicans, for us, has not allowed us.

01:29Because here we don't even have public access to the beaches,

01:33even though we have a few meters.

01:36They use our roots, they use our names.

01:40It sounds like a very important name, to say the Riviera Maya.

01:46But where are the Mayas?

01:48A Maya can't see it on the beach.

01:50A Maya, a native of the region, can't see it on the beach.

01:55They catalog us, they almost sign us as criminals.

02:21We were anxiously waiting for Friday to go out and relax.

02:26We were waiting for Friday to go dancing.

02:29From La Maquila, directly to the dance halls in the center.

02:33The Joyce Place.

02:35The Hilbert, the Rio Bravo.

02:37At six in the morning, the dance halls were closed.

02:40At six.

02:41And I would go out until six in the morning.

02:43There is no way to explain the tranquility that I had never experienced before.

02:47I remember when the girls started to disappear.

02:52You live in fear.

02:54They were lost and they were found in the cotton field.

02:58A friend of ours disappeared.

03:01You would come home on Friday.

03:05I was so afraid that I didn't want to live in my house anymore.

03:08It's not like it used to be.

03:10At eight o'clock at night, it was closed, you couldn't go anywhere.

03:13No, it's not like that anymore.

03:16It's not like that anymore.
