The film depicts 4 hours in the lives of two young Native Americans who have left their reservations to live in Los Angeles: Yvonne, a young Apache, and her husband Homer, a Hualapi, are expecting a child. They share a two-room apartment with the Mexican Tommy and four of their Native American friends. The young men set off at nightfall to go drinking, play cards, pick up girls, fight and dance. Yvonne goes to the movies on her own, strolls through a shopping district and then spends the night at a friend´s house. These two scenarios sum up the confused lives of young Native Americans caught between tradition and modern life.

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.”
