Diego (Hernández) and Andres (Madrueño) make doors for a living. Both of their artistic pursuits are on pause because Tijuana’s public university is on strike and cultural budgets are nil. At some point, Andres meets an actress-cum-taco vendor named Renee (Ortiz). They rehearse for a play together. Silver Puma for Best Mexican Film at FICUNAM in 2021 and Special Mention in the Premier Film Competition at FIDMarseille.
