Tomás is sent by his mother to his older brother’s house in Mexico City. With a tape of old songs by legendary Epigmenio Cruz, he manages to take his brother “Shadow” out of his apartment to look the musician in the city’s hospitals (like Dylan did for Woody Guthrie). “Shadow” goes after the one who made him cry – Ana, his ex-girlfriend. All seem to come from an old song — with no direction home, like a rolling stone.)
