Fiction | 1h33
Synopsis:
Veneno, a young rebel drifter, frequents roadside diners where he sleeps with truck drivers. In urgent need of a driver, he meets Muñeco, a very virile driver with a tough and reserved character. He convinces Muñeco to take him to the north of Mexico, entering the heart of the hyper-masculine world of long-haul trucking. As their intimacy deepens on the road, the ghosts of the past catch up with them at every truck stop, and danger draws closer.
