For pre-columbian Mexicans, the contrast between life and death was not so definite. Death was not the natural conclusion to life, but a stage in an infinite cycle." (Octavio Paz). THE FAITHFUL DEAD is about the Mexicans' vision of life and death. The film tracks the tradition in a movement from Mexico City to the celebrations of the Day of the Dead, the 2nd of November in Michoacán State.
