Mexican Bus Ride

A rickety bus sets out across a remote stretch of Mexico in 1952, carrying a newlywed named Oliverio Grajales (Esteban Márquez) toward his mother's deathbed. He has to fetch a lawyer to sort out her will, and he has left his new wife behind to do it. Luis Buñuel fills the road with a birthday party, a one-legged man in the mud, and Raquel (Lilia Prado), while Oliverio sweats through his nightmares and never quite reaches where he is going.
