Ánimas Trujano is a taciturn and irresponsible indigenous man from a small Mexican village who cheats on his loyal wife with the town prostitute. His greatest dream is to one day be elected mayordomo of the town, an honour granted to the most respected citizen. When his eldest daughter becomes pregnant, Ánimas, blinded by his ambition, sells her baby to obtain the money to make him a candidate for the title. (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria International Film Festival)
