The story

The film opens with a brief montage of vintage black and white film clips promoting tourism in Mexico City, saying, "But that is not the Mexico City of today," before a dazzling series of scenes of the colorful, modern capital are shown. We see an older couple in a gated home as he gets ready to go to work, before he is kidnapped on the street in a daring ploy. The news reports the Mexican president's doctor was kidnapped and eventually murdered in an attempt by political opponents to show he cannot even protect his own administration officials from the corruption of his police forces.
