SYNOPSIS: Heriberto gives two old friends a ride to an elementary school reunion. Along the way—which is full of car malfunctions, stories, and booze—Heri tries to reconnect with them, but Flor and Trujillo start replicating the same abusive dynamics they inflicted on him when they were kids. Heri, no longer his old submissive self, will give them the surprise of their lives.
