A documentary about the Alternative Miss World Show, a legendary underground art party started by artist Andrew Logan in the 1970s. It?s like a fancy dress party for grown ups, with costumes ranging from cardboard and poster paint, to full-on architectural constructions. The contestants are both men and women, of all ages, sizes and shapes. Run on a shoestring budget, the show is beautiful, glamorous and kitsch all at the same time.

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.”
