Sumario:This article analyzes two films that, at different moments in the history of mass housing in Mexico City, shed light on the problems of life inside two housing complexes built by the State: CUPA and Tlatelolco, both by architect Mario Pani. Based on the analysis of the films ¿A dónde van nuestros hijos? (1959) and Rojo amanecer (1989), and contrasting with official discourses on housing in superblocks disseminated by the architects and promoters of such projects, I propose that the analyzed films dismantle the hegemonic meanings of inhabiting, giving rise to counter-hegemonic visions of life inside a mass housing complex of Mexican modernity.
