In a small Mexican town, a group of construction workers struggles to survive as they confront the adversities of a system that ignores and marginalizes them. The story centers around Chava, a bricklayer with big dreams, but trapped in the harsh reality of his daily work. The film begins with the arrival of a new boss, who promises fairer working conditions, but soon reveals himself to be a manipulative figure who only seeks to take advantage of the situation.
Alongside his coworkers, Chava becomes a symbol of resistance as they grapple with labor injustices and the personal intrigues that arise in the camp. Each character brings their own story and struggle: from the veteran who clings to his traditions to the young idealist who dreams of a better future; they all represent the hopes and tragedies of the working class. As the tension mounts, the bricklayers are forced to confront not only their boss but also their own fears and aspirations.
The film, with a touch of humor and a dose of drama, explores the camaraderie and daily struggles of these men as they seek dignity in a world that seems to have forgotten them. With a fresh and honest approach to work life in Mexico, the movie offers a poignant look at courage and solidarity in difficult times.
