(2021) - La Caja

At the heart of the film is Hatzín, a teenager who travels to Chihuahua to retrieve his father's remains from a mass grave—a routine bureaucratic process that highlights the casualness of death in the region. The "box" of the title refers initially to these remains, representing a closed chapter that Hatzín refuses to accept.

Lorenzo Vigas's 2021 film ( The Box ) is a stark exploration of identity, paternal yearning, and the dehumanizing machinery of industrial exploitation in northern Mexico. As the final entry in Vigas's trilogy on fatherhood, it shifts from the intimate tension of his previous work to a broader, more cynical critique of modern labor systems.
