In the near future, a teenager in Mexico is busy with picking up radio transmissions. At some points he picks up a transmission from the US, which is intercepted by a soldier. They think it is a terrorist spying and send an aircraft to that place to destroy it. The teenager is not home at that time, but his father is and is killed by the aircraft (remotly controled).
since there is little left to do over there, the teenager decides to take the big step and goes to the big city to find a job. He does that and so can pay his family. In the meantime, he meets a beautiful woman, a writer, who more or less falls for him. She uses his meeting to write a new novel for selling. Someone notices the story and is prepared to pay more for the rest.

Overal the story is nice. It takes place in Mexico and has some nice settings in the border. The movie has some CGI effects here and there which look a little bit cheap, but still watchable. You see some Matrix vibes in here as well, but not overdone. Acting is good and I really got the feeling watching a Mexican movie. Sad thing to say is that there is lots of people being pore in the future as well, which is nicely shot.
