Description

La familia Montano vive en el norte de Mexico. El padre, Valente, ha cruzado ilegalmente la frontera en dieciocho ocasiones, pero ya nunca mas, porque ha juntado suficiente dinero y esta dispuesto a poner un negocio en su pueblo: una pizzeria en un mundo de tortillas. La llevaran el y sus hijos Candelario y Martina. Pero Candelario no ve claro lo de invertirlo todo en tal negocio: el sabe que en el pueblo ya asoma la inseguridad. Alli mismo aun no ha pasado nada, pero corren rumores de gente muerta y colgada en los alrededores. Y entonces se inaugura la pizzeria, y cuando todo empieza a ir muy bien, Candelario se decide a probar lo prohibido, la marihuana que cultiva en su huerto su antiguo amigo Monico Zorrilla. / The Montano family originates from the north of Mexico, from this vast country whose name Daniel Sada subverts and calls Mágico. The father, Valente, has illegally crossed the border on 18 separate occasions, but no more, never again, because he has saved enough money to avoid such efforts, so many games of cat and mouse, so many nocturnal crossings, so many rebellions against border patrol, so many failures and having to begin again... now he is ready to start up his own business in his hometown San Gregorio, it is a modest business but it is his. Valente decides to open in the middle of this world of tortillas his own pizzeria, but his son Candelario doesnt understand the logic behind investing everything into such a business: he knows that in the town insecurity is beginning to surface, and that every now and then strange vehicles are spotted.
