Synopsis
In a number of sequences, the Mexican character is examined in a historical perspective that encompasses Aztec blood rituals, the colonial experience, Catholic heritage, and the present day domination of Mexico by the United States. Poverty and oppression are shown in such scenes as a Mexican receiving Coca-Cola in place of blood in a transfusion and the mass hanging of priests and seminarians.
