      The narrative follows Professor Juan Manuel Barrientos as he navigates a walking lecture in downtown Mexico City, where an absence of students leads him to explore the city alone. His journey becomes a blend of historical reflection and personal introspection, heavily influenced by his struggles with alcohol. As he meanders through cantinas, he intertwines his own past with the rich history surrounding him, culminating in a poignant realization at the heart of the city.
