Two women—a Boston native and a German—flee their stagnant lives for Mexico seeking meaning. The film blends narrative and documentary, recalling Willow Springs while serving as an essay on Mexico. It contrasts their rapturous immersion with clips of Mexico’s history and daily life, exposing tourist exoticism and hinting at Schroeter’s nonfiction.
