The young couple Miguel and Johnny spend their days skateboarding around chaotic parts of Mexico City. They enjoy their simple sexuality and donate blood to the black market. An easy way to make money appears when an acquaintance recommends them to dealers who need blood, but can’t go to the hospital. The plan soon goes wrong and the couple notice too late the environment around them, a secret network of clinics at the service of the wounded in the war against drugs. Shown at the Locarno Film Festival and Toronto Film Festival 2015.
