2009 | Mexico | Color | 1h 32 min.

This is the story of the sexual awakening of Mingo, a young man with a certain level of mental disability, charismatic and an imaginative poet. His new condition as a lover makes him popular but it also causes problems. Little by little, the plot unveils the false morality of a town blinded by its prejudices.
