Synopsis by Steven Yoder
Director Ariel Winograd presents the story of a man at the end of his rope. Tomás (Mauricio Ochmann) is meek and on the verge of a nervous breakdown. His life is in turmoil, and on top of this, his wife is cheating on him. He decides to go to Puerto Vallarta to confront Jero (Omar Chaparro), the taxi driver who is his wife's lover. Ultimately, Tomas ends up using Jero's services to return to Mexico City. During the journey, the two develop a strange bond that neither would have expected.
