Cain and Abe are two brothers who, during the First World War, enlisted as British soldiers. Their duty is to kill any soldier who deserts the battlefield. Cain is a strong and tough man, with more experience as a soldier, unlike his little brother who recently joined the army. With Cain’s assistance, Abe will learn to forsake his humanity in order to carry out his job without remorse, regardless of who is at the receiving end of the rifle.

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.”

Oskar Alegría embarks on a journey to recover the past. With a Super-8 camera that once belonged to his father and has remained untouched for 41 years, he plans to retrace the path of the shepherd: the journey of transhumance that his grandfather undertook in his youth, following now-forgotten coordinates. The result is a film that delights in the search —as well as the many detours along the way.
