The story

Gangsters in a speeding car pummel and throw a snitch from the vehicle. The camera pulls back and we discover we are viewing a film within a film, the setting of a little movie theater in rural Mexico. The audience is unimpressed by the B-rated feature, but the leader of local small-time thugs, Braganza, is enthused and wishes to emulate the movie gangsters.
