A big dilapidated building in Moscow. The Temple of Love is a commune composed of those who choose to live on the fringes of society and those who are forced there. The many children tottering around belong to everybody and nobody. A relished meal might consists of half-eaten scraps and its charismatic, half-crazed leader urges the women that they should make love to the crippled and the poor. This seemingly idyllic environment undergoes a series of personal and collective crises. The police regularly raid the building to harass the members of the commune. Gangsters break into the place, threatening to kill one of the inhabitants, only to be repelled by ?a wall of love?. The leader, frustrated at his inability to express his vision, castrates himself. A baby is accidentally killed. All the while the traumas of free love are evident

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.”
