Synopsis
In search of a story, a German film team finds itself in the Mexican village of El Alberto. The so-called Caminata Nocturna has made the small community famous. A tourist attraction based on the experiences of the villagers that re-enacts the illegal border crossing into the United States. What once started as a performance to make the local youth aware of the dangers of illegal migration has now become one of the village's main sources of income. Netflix visited. Italian, Japanese, Austrian and other productions, too. And now the Germans. While around them the village unflinchingly goes about its business, claims rights to its own image and subject, supplying border patrols, dangers and reenactments in a lucrative capital barter, their stay develops into an unintended exploration of the possibilities and limitations of cinematic representation.
