Searching for answers, Anthony reluctantly embarks on a journey to the small village of Acuitzeramo in Michoacan, Mexico, to confront his father, who abandoned him as a child. Upon arriving, Anthony is met by Salvador, a stoic and humble elder, who reveals his father died just minutes prior. Anthony discovers that his father was in a 20-year relationship with Salvador.
