Five men who were dealt a dud hand by life have been given the task of re-marking the central lines on a 217 km highway stretch in the federal state of San Luis Potosi. Armed with an old truck, a dog and a few yellow paint pots, the men set to work in the sweltering heat. Neither of them could have guessed that this apparently tedious task will change the lives of the dissimilar comrades forever. Repressed pasts, cruel acts of fate and new glimmers of hope are awaiting along the roadside… A road movie in the truest sense of the term, this unpretentiously philosophical, heart-warming film is guaranteed not to leave anybody out in the cold. Produced by Guillermo del Toro, Celso R.
