Plot
Highly symbolic and allegorical, this drama takes as its basis a son's search for his father in the chaotic times of the Mexican Revolution in the early 1900s. Stereotypical (or archetypal) figures from early Mexican cinema appear from time to time, and the violence of the revolutionary period is not ignored. Scenes of the father's earthy lifestyle are placed amid his son's search for him.
