Love is so short and forgetting is so long

Synopsis

Two interlocutors, a voiceless teacher and a voiceless student have a digressionary conversation about the history of education along the U.S.-Mexico border at the site of two different schools marked by genocidal colonial violence against children, "Robb Elementary" in Uvalde, Texas and the segregationist "Blackwell School" in Marfa, Texas. The circuitous exchange between the unheard interlocutors falters as they struggle to make sense of the normalization of school shootings in a country that has more guns than people.
