Doña Elvia revives her most enduring dreams from childhood. What do they mean? Why does an owl interrupt her dreams?
She knows that deep down there is a meaning that can be interpreted from her Mayan beliefs and perspective. Why does this happen? What is her animal alter ego? What is the meaning behind dreaming of being an animal?
The lizard is a water animal with great symbolism in Mayan ideology. It represents the dark side of their beliefs, its sign is Imox, and it is characterized as the protector of water.

A car with plates from the State of Mexico moves slowly, looking for a nocturnal creature in a tight dress willing to fill another's body with pleasure. Who is driving this car? Why does it stop in front of her?
Her name, Albina. How should we approach the topic of prostitution? From the enticing arousal that captures one's heart in seconds for three thousand pesos, or from that wild heart that inspires songs?
The director chooses the fundamental economic transaction for any business, especially the oldest one in the world, which happens several times each night. And isn't it one of the most sought-after?
