En el hoyo

In the Pit
Nel pozzo

According to an old Mexican legend, for each bridge built the devil demands a human soul as guarantee that the bridge will not collapse. En el hoyo tells the story of the workers building the Periférico elevated highway in Mexico City. A monster of asphalt, steel and concrete, the highway will change the urban landscape and the lives of city residents. Juan Carlos Rulfo depicts the lives, dreams, hopes and harsh reality of the hundreds of masons and carpenters at work on the road, as well as the toil, friendship and companionship and sense of dignity and will to survive that mark these men. Yet, as legend has it, the day of reckoning will arrive…

Il regista / The Director

Juan Carlos Rulfo (Mexico City, 1964), son of noted writer Juan Rulfo, from whom he inherited his interest in rural Mexican life, graduated from the Centro de Capacitation Cinematografica, and debuted with the short El Abuelo Cheno y otras historias (1995). His feature Del olvido al no me acuerdo (1999) earned him four Ariel awards from the Academia Mexicana de Artes y Ciencias Cinematograficas; En el hoyo (2006) was selected Best Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival 2006 and has won numerous other international awards.

" I like to search where no one else would think to look. However, sometimes I don’t know how to look because I don’t know how to see. I enjoy going unnoticed. When I am unseen, I see best. All of these thoughts come to mind when I visit the workers constructing the second level of the Periférico freeway (...). In the process, I have shared unexpected moments and conversations with these workers; men and women who work night and day, in the heat and in the cold, among curses, compliments and catcalls, but mostly among the indifference and, above all, the irritation of those who use these routes to get to their destinations."
