- Synopsis
- Beto, an elderly «Indio» is looking after a luxury empty house in Mexico, living there alone until it is sold. His contacts with the outside world are limited to the visits made by the owner to inspect his maintenance work, and weekly sessions with Lupe, a prostitute he pays to have a little company. Immured in his solitude, occasionally interrupted by potential buyers, Beto lives like a recluse, cut off from the industrious city of Mexico, a teeming and alarming world. Even a simple visit to the market has become an ordeal. For him, television is the only window onto the world outside, although it is always the same story: blood drenched demonstrations, villainous murders, and dishonourable wars. But when the house is sold he must leave. Despite his former boss’s efforts to find him a new job, having lived in this confined space for over ten years he fears he can no longer work outside.
