About This Movie

As This Happens is an intimate documentary that pulls you into the lives of twelve Mexicans, each stuck in their own corners of the world during the chaotic early days of the 2020 lockdown. The tone is raw and personal, with each participant offering a glimpse into their daily struggles and moments of quiet reflection amidst the turmoil. There's a palpable sense of uncertainty that hangs over their narratives, which is accentuated by the practical, often unfiltered, filming methods they use—no fancy setups here, just real life unfolding. It's a fascinating study in isolation and connection, showing how different yet similar we all can be in times of crisis. The pacing is reflective, allowing viewers to sit with the emotions while absorbing the variety of experiences presented.
