The story of a young man?s coming of age, this is also one of the most emotionally rich mother-and-son stories ever captured on film. Caouette directed this autobiographical video opus throughout his adolescence and adulthood, growing up in a turbulent household (his mother, diagnosed as mentally ill, was subjected to electroshock treatments, among other tortures) and blossoming into a precocious and gifted theatrical impresario, long before this (finished) film became the toast of festivals, from Sundance to Cannes.

Mexico will no longer exist! A frenetic view runs over a convulsed Mexico City, a colossal metropolis sustained by the myth of "mestizaje" and other colonial forms of violence.
