A mechanic and his friends and family go to watch the end of a car race. Characters like the self-sacrificing grandmother, the chauvinist father, the modern daughter, and the braggart, among others, are portrayed with humor, irony, and sarcasm. The film is a mosaic depicting early-1970s Mexico. (Morelia International Film Festival)
