Burn the Bridges
Planning to travel to Canada, Helen decides to take up English. However, her desire of a long trip is hindered by the need to look after her dying mother, younger brother Sebastian and their dilapidated domicile. She then becomes deeply troubled on discovering that Sebastian is going out with a classmate of his, Juan. But what is the real source of her rancour? This is a story of adolescence and family bonds, which become suppressive when applied too strongly. “To Burn Bridges” represents a mature movie debut for Francisca Franco Alba, a leading director of the Mexican theatre.
