Mitote plot

A euphoric soccer event, the mystical invocations of a shaman and a mob of enraged citizens collide at El Zócalo, a plaza in Mexico City, provoking a "Mitote" (Aztec word to describe chaos and celebration). The square is transformed into a kind of arena where post-modern rituals clash with ancient Mexican culture to the rhythm of a country in turmoil and change.
