17-year-old Pablo lives an insulated, antiseptic life in a white, empty apartment devoid of life and parents. Bored, he takes out a camcorder and wanders to a park, where the quirky and free-spirited Marco catches his eye.
When Marco sees that he is being videotaped, he performs for the camera and then offers to take Pablo down to Real de Catorce to get some peyote.
Marco’s abrasiveness contrasts with Pablo’s introversion, and the trip quickly becomes more than just a search for a short high as the two boys spend more and more time together and end up striking up a muted romance.
Passions boil just under the surface as the boys deal with mutual attraction, conflict, and inner angst against the backdrop of photogenic Real de Catorce, a symbol to the barely contained, brooding edge of two boys at childhood’s end.
