A coming-of-age story about two teenage boys taking a road trip with an older woman. When Tenoch and Julio meet the alluring, older Luisa at a wedding, they try to impress her with stories of a road trip to a secret beach, and ultimately convince her to come with them. What follows is an escapade involving seduction, conflict and the harsh realities of poverty set in 1999 against the backdrop of the political and economic realities of present-day Mexico - specifically at the end of the uninterrupted 71-year line of Mexican presidents from the Institutional Revolutionary Party and the rise of the opposition headed by Vicente Fox.
