Set in Mexico City in the 1960s, teenagers Toña and Polo accidentally derail a train while playing hooky from school. The details of what happened and the punishment they should face are as different as the spectators who follow the event. This searing look at poverty and society’s response to it is a masterpiece of modern Mexican theatre.
Performed in Spanish with English surtitles.
