In the desert, workers and engineers build a railway road in difficult conditions. Things get complicated when the son of the site’s leader arrives at the scene trying to reach out to his father again. Taking place in a harsh geographical location, the film opens with snakes and scorpions roaming the sand, asserting the desert, described by characters as sleeping tiger, as one of the film’s most important characters. Desert is used to expose the characters’ nature, which may not appear in normal conditions. Director also tackles the ethnic and social class conflicts that exist in Mexico through influential human stories. (Cairo International Film Festival)
