A small indigenous Mexican village is slowly turning into a ghost town as many of its inhabitants emigrate. To survive this, they start simulating an experien ce they all know: crossing the border to the US illegally. The residents of the village slip into the roles of border guards, human traffickers and drug smug glers to reenact the crossing for paying tourists so they can put themselves into the position of a migrant for one night. A story of empowerment or a vil lage stuck in the loop of their traumatic experiences?
