Set in Mexico City, the film tells three connected stories linked by a violent car crash. Each part explores themes of love, loss, cruelty, and survival through characters from very different social worlds: a young man caught in the criminal scene, a model whose life unravels after an accident, and a former guerrilla-turned-hitman seeking redemption. The film is raw, emotional, and stylistically bold, offering a powerful look at the harsh realities behind human relationships.

A coming-of-age road movie set in Mexico City during the 1999 student strike. Shot in black-and-white, the film follows a rebellious teenager, Tom\u00e1s,\u00a0 sent to live with his older brother and his roommate. Together, they embark on a journey across the city to find a nearly forgotten Mexican rock musician their late father once admired. Blending humor, social commentary, and a self-aware cinematic style, G\u00fceros explores youth, identity, and the search for meaning in a chaotic urban landscape.
