Fuego en el sótano

Elisa, Leo and Ramos are students in a Mexico City on the verge of hosting Latin America´s first ever Olympic Games. They bond over a shared love for great coffee and great books, in particular the political writings of Marcuse. When the army bursts onto their Campus, there is a huge strike and the three young friends get involved in the burgeoning student protest movement, focusing their efforts on design and production of propaganda. They join thousands of their friends and colleagues in a march demanding peace and the immediate withdrawal of the army from the University; however, the government responds by slaughtering hundreds of protesters, bringing the movement to a swift end.
