Synopsis

Mexico: An urban landscape

Today Mexico City is a sprawling metropolis of more than 20 million people.
In the 1940's it had a population of around 1 million.
It is said that life was pleasant there in those days

Marcos (Marcos Hernández) and his wife (Berta Ruiz) kidnap a baby for ransom money, but it goes tragically wrong when the infant dies. In another world is Ana (Anapola Mushkadiz), the daughter of the general he drives for, who prostitutes herself for pleasure. Marcos confesses his guilt to her in his troubled search for relief. And then finds himself on his knees amidst the multitude of believers moving slowly towards the Basilica in honour of the Lady of Guadalupe.
