A young Mexican farm boy lovingly raises a bull as a pet. When the ranch owner is accidentally killed, the stock must be sold off and the bull is taken away from his caretaker. The animal is shipped to the Plaza México to face Fermín Rivera, a matador, who was played by the bullfighter himself.

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.”
