A personal diary of a period living in Mexico and a portrait of the Popocatepetl, an active volcano. During the conquest, the Mexican revolution, the rise of the EZLN and nowadays the feminist outburst, the volcano replied with its eruptions to the social claim. Can a mountain recall? The smoke emerging from the crater augurs a rebel but suffocated heart, in the line that draws in the horizon a see a scar.
