Synopsis
On the traces of his mother, an activist who disappeared when fighting a mining company, young Emiliano meets the rich Aldama family, who seem to be involved in the case, and he is determined to discover their secrets. Violence and police corruption, narcos, defence of the environment and the vanity of the world of social media: the film portrays an intense and worrying fresco of contemporary Mexico.
