Synopsis

Director Oliver Debroise invited 14 popular and experimental artists, filmmakers, critics and historians to join him for a banquet at the same desert hacienda Eisenstien stayed in, while working on his unfinished film "Que Viva Mexico!". Part documentary, part critical analysis, the film is structured into two main parts. The first is a murder/incest mystery at the hacienda; the second, a banquet where what comes under investigation is rather the nature of representation and historiography itself.
