Synopsis
Director

Defeated after a thirty-year struggle with US immigration agents, "El Pachuco" returns to his hometown, only to find that some of his friends are dead anthe ones who are left, such as the faithful Chavita, have handed their sould over to tequila. This is the eve of All Saint's Day, the most deeply rooted festival in Mexico. "El Pachuco" and Chavita wind up in the squalid local jailhouse with a bunch of characters (a truck driver, a gringo tourist, the village idiot, a frustrated rock n' roller) who are pieces in the puzzel of a Mexico steeped in tradition, corruption and machismo.
