Set at the end of the 20th century in a coastal city Mexican, Limonaria is the love story of two separated women by deep social divisions and at the same time united by the desire for protect your environment.
The dynamics of oppression of an extractivist, patriarchal and racist society are reflected in the characters who are somewhat victims and somewhat responsible for the events.
Estela González shines in the representation of eroticism and beauty of natural environment, presenting racist dynamics without falling into reductions indigenists.
Limonaria is a tender story that highlights the freedom that the most painful truths can bring.
