Using the technique of rotoscopy, where it is painted on top of the film's painting, the film recounts the events that occurred during the 1968 student movement. In the context of the upcoming start of Mexico's Olympics, which were the first time in Latin America, the youth's protests against state intervention in their schools, rallies and strikes contrast against the state's intervention in their schools, rallies and strikes. The film, which has as its main purpose to commemorate the 50 years of events that occurred in the Plaza de las Tres Culturas de Tlatelolco, wants to show how students organized theself in the classroom and hid photos and documents in secret places, in addition to showing their leaders and those who joined the movement without really knowing what they were up against.
