Nobody Will Miss Us follows the lives of five high school students from the then Federal District. The group of unpopular students lives its own drama: Tenoch has to keep his scholarship; Marifer feels that she doesn’t connect with her boyfriend; Daniela is secretly dating the school bully and Alex is grieving for his daughter. the death of his mother.

“One of the things we wanted to get away from was this florescence or the colors and all that, but rather to delve deeper into the research:what kind of nineties were they?”, the filmmaker said.
Another ingredient, Samuel said, is the chemistry achieved by the actors, who reflect on screen a true friendship that transcended the forums.
