Sinopsis
(All movie guide)
Beginning in the late 80's, Mexico started
experiencing some rapid economic ups and downs (mostly downs). This melodrama
explores what one of the downturns does to Miguel (Rafael
Sanchez Navarro), a young man working in an architectural firm, when he
loses his job. Completely lacking in street smarts, when he finally attempts
to bribe his way into a taxi driving job, he loses the last money he has.
Shamed by the notion that he might be supported by his wife (Alma
Delfina), who still has her job, he persuades her to accompany him as he
undertakes his new "job" of robbing grocery stores. Needless to say, this does
not work out well.
