Miguel Núñez

A romantic little cowboy leads a peasant revolt against the abuses of a ruthless cotton company.

Through the film, Ivan makes a couple of odd decisions in order to overcome his detachment. First, he goes along with the wild desires of his girlfriend, Rosa. Later he gets tricked into adopting a pig. At a time when Ivan's life turns absurd, he must find himself; beyond death and unbearable heat. The film is also an allegory about the desire to overcome the current hard times in México.
