Minotaur follows three thirty-somethings in a Mexico City apartment filled with books, passing languid afternoons reading, sleeping and receiving occasional visitors, while outside Mexico is burning and time inside seems barely to pass. My Skin, Luminous begins with footage ostensibly commissioned to document improvements to Mexico's public schools, giving way at a primary school in Michoacán to the story of Matías, an orphaned boy isolated from his classmates after mysteriously losing the pigment in his skin.
