Esperando al Gordo

Tláloc (Joaquín Cosío), an out of luck journalist, has been threatened to death. He asks two old friends, Arturo (Gerardo Taracena) a well to do shady lawyer, and Ernesto (Erik Zavala), a mysterious bachelor, to contact Gordo, an elusive acquaintance with contacts in the squalid and ruthless world of Mexican politics. The friends have not seen each other since their college days and the meeting feels awkward. Tláloc complains about the apparent lack of interest of his friends for his ordeal. As they wait for Gordo, tension rises when they recall a tragic incident from their past. Then too, they were waiting for Gordo.
