This movie is based in a real life story in which a group of students and university workers go on holiday and finish in a small town (Canoa) in the Mexican countryside. They look for a place to spend the night without being aware of what his happening around them until it is too late.
The political climate is volatile: Mexico, 1968, leftist students have been protesting all around the country and the local priest is a megalomaniac afraid to loose his little power and completely paranoid about communism.
What follows is the mob taking over under the directions of the local priest, with funest consequences for the unfortunate students.
Very explicit violence, Disturbing scenes.
Highly recommended.
