Jessica hasn’t been able to sleep since she was startled awake by a loud bang at dawn. While visiting her sister in Bogotá, she befriends Agnès, an archaeologist studying human remains found in a tunnel under construction. Jessica travels to see Agnès at the excavation site.

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.”
