In Mexico, in 1994, Mariano, a tormented 14-year old boy has decided to commit suicide leaving a testimony on a videotape explaining the world the reasons he had: because of an accident a few years before, he is pointed as the cause of the retardation of his little brother. He faces his family fading away from him and a feeling of guilt. The result of his recording is a touching portrait of a young man’s soul exposing motivations and aspects of his particular vision of the world.
"The possibility to see the world through the eyes of a character is a wonderful experience for many reasons: it allows us to feel his universe in our own flesh, to explore a reality from a different height, angle and movement: it turns us into the character. AURORA BOREAL is a cine matographic experiment. A self portrait. A tribute to the chaotic Mexico of the 90s. May Mariano be the one who tells the story." (Sergio Tovar Velarde)
