Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

Tormented by the fact that he was responsible for debilitating his younger brother in a tragic accident, Mexican teen Mariano makes the decision to take his own life in director Sergio Tovar Velarde's affecting entry into the 2007 San Sebastian Film Festival. The year is 1994, and Mariano can't forgive himself for the lifetime of pain he caused his disabled younger brother. Unable to live with himself any longer, Mariano sits down in front of his video camera to talk about his long quest for redemption, and the reasons that he has decided to take his own life.
