Ciudad isn’t a traditional portrait of a city; rather, the documentary offers a layered encounter with what emerges from within it. Carlos F. Rossini invites Maya Goded, Julio Hernández Cordón, and Nuria Ibáñez to co-direct an exploration of the gestures of Mexico City. The four directors choose their own unique starting points to immerse the viewer in an experience that presents a series of images—almost mirages— of this monumental metropolis.

Mauricio Fernández is the polemical mayor of San Pedro Garza García, the wealthiest and safest municipality in Latin America. He presents himself as an active leader who is capable of keeping his municipality "free" of the drug cartels' presence, without questioning the methods he uses to achieve this. The mayor describes the wild times of a country marked by violence and the complete discredit of the ruling class.
