Amid the Mexican Revolution, a Paris‑educated man returns to his Chihuahua hometown, now held by Francisco Villa’s forces. In his empty house he recalls his youth under a dictatorship: a police‑chief uncle, his sister’s liberal activism, evenings with brothel girls, and a labor strike that ended in massacre. Learning his father was assassinated, he joins the rebels with his father’s former servant.
