A man is stranded in the midst of a lonely and arid highway. He goes into the desert to look for help and starts to see mirages. Overcome by thirst and heat, he struggles to maintain his link to reality and get out of there; but the desert, like a living being, disorients and confuses him with simulations that increasingly resemble reality.

Mexico will no longer exist!

¡Aoquic iez in Mexico! ¡Ya México no existirá más!

A frenetic view runs over a convulsed Mexico City, a colossal metropolis sustained by the myth of "mestizaje" and other colonial forms of violence. Past and present weave a flurry of images; fragmented memories of this land. Ancient deities are incarnated, while dreams overlap among intimacy, complicity and the tumult. This is an erratic film that invites us to reimagine the complex relationship we have with the constructed “mexicanidad.”
