Fiesta de Día de Muertos

StandBy tells three stories from Latin America about family and migration, about fragmentation and longing, about video-mothers and abandoned children.


These stories are interrupted and contrasted by the absurd visions of contemporary political figures such as Elon Musk, who proposes offering the world’s migrants a new perspective—on Mars.
