This is a beautiful Spanish speaking film about the vicissitudes of Mexico´s indians and one man´s endeavour to leave a legacy. Dr. Fuentes had one major flaw, he naively believed in the goodness of men, and despite his ingenuity in medicine, misunderstood the complexities of his homecountry´s politics. He wanted to pass a legacy, but slowly found it to be in shatters by the people he as an educated bourgeoise trusted. One by one the shocking reality of Indians became revealed, his students had vanished, and the victimization of nations was apparent. There was nothing else to cling to except dreams and hopes of escape.
