Juan Carlos Rulfo, the son of the acclaimed Mexican writer and photographer Juan Rulfo, travels to the plains of Jalisco in search of information on his father. What starts as a tribute to a great artist, however, becomes a meditation on aging and how it's affecting the history of a generation of great Mexican literature.

This documentary explores key moments in the life of writer Juan Rulfo, with artists such as Werner Herzog and Eduardo Galeano reflecting on his work.
