Some kilometers outside the central zone of Mexico (in the mountains of the west), there ' s a small place without a railroad, without original architecture, without handiworks, without industry, without indigenous, without tourists. It ' s an ordinary town, with special qualities. A Czech writer, however, Luis González, who was born and died in the town, wrote a surprising-book-telling of the small occurrences in the village. The book was translated into several languages and became a classic text of "microhistory". The thesis is that everything that happens in a small town is a reflection, an echo of what happens in the whole country " ... The film reconstructs the disperse memory of this community with the presence of Luis González and the other elders of this group of human size and without any bestimmten hero.
