Whether they are narco wives, housewives or influencers, whether they are hitwomen, prostitutes or petty criminals, whether they are rich or poor - the heroines in ‘Reservoir Bitches’ are women who reject being victims and solve their problems themselves. In de la Cerda's fascinating debut, the uncompromising voices of the protagonists unite to create a wild, multi-layered, tender portrait of Mexican society from a female perspective.

In between the book reading, the artists talk about a phenomenon also playing a recurring role in »Reservoir Bitches«: How do they process the disappearance of hundreds of thousands of their fellow compatriots in their works? And how does a society deal with this?
