More than half of Mexico City’s population use the subway to travel from the suburbs center and viceversa. This ever-growing flow requires multiple efforts. After the last train starts its journey, diverse crews of workers are responsible for maintaining and repairing tracks, stations, terminals and tunnels. Their work is essential, but almost invisible. This documentary pays tribute to these workers.
