Synopsis Tomás and Paco are very good friends who have the dream of being recognized filmmakers, but they only make low-budget short films that no one watches. Given this, and the fact that Tomás feels that his future is uncertain, he sets out to film the first feature film in his state, Campeche, hoping to win both at film festivals, as well as money, love and respect from his loved ones. In the process, he will jeopardize his friendship with Paco who is his only true friend and collaborator.
