Synopsis by Steven Yoder
The Box, directed by Lorenzo Vigas, is the story of a Mexican youth who goes to collect his father's remains and is instead pulled into the darker side of manufacturing. Hatzín's father was found in a mass grave. But when he goes to collect the remains, he sees Mario. He is convinced that Mario is really his father. Mario eventually takes him in, exposing him to the darker side of manufacturing. Hatzín begins his own investigation into why he and his mother were abandoned and discovers that there is more to Mario and his business.
