Four separate vignettes adapted from writer Francisco Rojas Gonzáles explore the lives of Mexico’s indigenous communities. “Las Vacas,” “Nuestra Señora,” “El Tuerto,” and “La Potranca” each reveal stark, everyday struggles. In “El Tuerto,” a one‑eyed boy endures relentless bullying; his devout mother prays that God will give him equal eyes, but the prayer brings a heartbreaking tragedy.
