Shot over five years, Intimidad is an in-depth portrait of Cecy and Camilo Ramirez, a young couple struggling to make ends meet in Reynosa, Mexico. They have recently left their 2-year-old daughter, Loida, with Cecy’s mother in Santa Maria in the hopes of building a proper home. After one year, they return to visit her for the Christmas holidays, yet their vacation is barely the respite the couple expected, as Loida hardly recognizes her parents, and a sudden tragedy threatens to tear the family apart.
“Romance is where Intimidad soars, turning it into a documentary fairytale of truly humbling proportions.” —Michael Tully, Indiewire/Hammer to Nail
