Using Rulfo's unparalleled prose as a starting point, Adriana visits the charismatic Damián Alcázar in Mexico City, engaging in a very sincere and reflective conversation about his life, invoking the importance of death in the Mexican worldview. Damián masterfully embodies the essence of Rulfo's characters. As they explore the desolate landscapes and unforgettable characters created by Rulfo, the journalist and the actor reveal surprising connections between literature and the human experience. Their dialogues transport us on a literary and emotional journey that invites us to explore the universal themes that permeate Rulfo's work: loneliness, love, memory, and, above all, death. This makes us reflect on how the craft of acting has the flexibility to let one character die and embody another. This chapter shows us how Rulfo's work continues to be an inexhaustible source of reflection on life and death. Written by
