Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures a drive through a quiet residential neighborhood in Mexico City. The footage shows modest single-story homes with flat roofs and simple landscaping, filmed from a moving vehicle with a shaky, handheld perspective. The blue-tinted film stock and visible grain give it an authentic retro feel. The sequence transitions to an airport scene where a man in a dark suit walks toward vintage propeller planes on the tarmac, capturing mid-century travel and suburban life.
