¡Aoquic iez in Mexico! ¡Ya México no existirá más!

Una mirada frenética recorre la convulsa Ciudad de México, metrópolis colosal sostenida por el mito del mestizaje y otras violencias coloniales. Pasado y presente tejen una ráfaga de imágenes; memorias fragmentadas de este territorio. Deidades antiguas que se encarnan, sueños que se desdoblan entre la intimidad, la complicidad y el tumulto. Una película errática que nos invita a reimaginar la compleja relación que sostenemos con la “mexicanidad”.
