Juan Carlos Rulfo follows in the footsteps of his father, the poet and novelist Juan Rulfo Mexican state of Jalisco, where after many years, his memory is still present in the vague memory of some people who knew him and treated him in his moments of fullness and all who are now elderly.
The documentary makes an estimable investigation work between forgetfulness and oblivion, as its title indicates, it always warns the rich presence of one who is not there through interviews with close friends as were his widow and some literary friends. All who tried to close Rulfo agree that he loved to practice exercises impersonation of realities, beginning with originating a puzzle already starting place or year of birth. In this regard, perhaps the most beautiful phrase in the film, in the words of his friend the writer Juan José Arreola: "I like to believe everything he said". True or false... who cares?
If Juan Rulfo does speak "Pedro Páramo" to men and women from the world of the dead or from the depths of hell, Juan Carlos Rulfo makes talking on the verge of the grave. One of the elders, who thinks he has engaged in a duel with the devil, said in the final scene, there is no other world like this. He adds disjointed but beautifully, letting fall drops in the ear the poison of melancholy: "They say there are other but not think so. No one gets tired of living. (But) there is another life that is as beautiful as the first one is this world".
