We are two film students from Germany who just arrived in Mexico city. The country is celebrating 200 years of independence and 100 years since the revolution. In this setting we want to shoot a documentary film in the capital: Mexico's turbulent history and its contemporary situation. But where to start? Mexico city is a metropolis of 20 million people. Where in this overwhelming complexity can we find those niches that characterize the country and its inhabitants? Together with a camera student from the local film school, we begin our search. We get into a taxi. The camera is running. This is how our film starts.
