Esdras apocalypse (or for practical purposes) The citizen
An “upright”, charming and oblivious citizen agrees via Messenger to later meet with his younger lover, as he is coming out of a contemporary dance performance in the Downtown district of the city of Monterrey. On the way to his car, he suddenly realizes that he forgot where he parked. As he searches for his car, unintentionally he begins to move away from the city's safe zone. Very soon, the darkness of the night engulfs him, and the city begins to transform, as he inadvertently walks into what appears to be a tolerance zone. Soon, he realizes that his car was stolen, and finds himself face to face with the thief. Abruptly, a peaceful cultural night turns into a burst of adrenaline, where the citizen has to confront, within a context of extreme city violence, the social phenomena of drugs, organized crime and corruption, as he tries to return to his normal comfortable well-off life.
