Alberto, a taxi driver in the small oiler city of minatitlán, through the passengers that populate the backseat during the day the driver watches the problematic city unravel, the deteriorated landscape, eroded by poverty, salpeter and the ever present smoke and fire of the oil refinery.

In his journey he is also able to appreciate the poetry hidden behind the decaying walls of the city in the little things and the mutual support of the people.
