The film mixes footage from fights, on-camera interviews, Skype
conversations, family encounters, a music collage, and intimate backstage confessions. It pays attention to settings and objects as an extension of the protagonist, offering a glimpse into his cultural and religious Mexican roots. (Cristina Álvarez López)
