There he sits proudly on his beautiful motorbike that he would never lend to anyone. He is sure that only he can explore the jungle. A playful re-enactment with reversed roles that takes aim at the hubris of the colonial conquerors, in a playful commentary on the dynamics between man and machine, reality and representation, handsomeness and cinema, past and present.

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.”
