Synopsis

Four women search for their sons, who have disappeared in Mexico, while a committee of linguists searches for a word missing from the dictionary. The inventory interweaves three narrative lines, questioning the ways in which language affects the legal, affective, media and collective imaginary spheres of forced disappearance in Mexico.
