- Synopsis
- Pedro, a loss adjuster, travels across Mexico investigating the causes of major catastrophes while dealing with corrupt "scavengers" who profit from human tragedy. To escape the depravity and violence of his daily life, Pedro decides to immerse himself in a world he believes to be the opposite of his own: contemporary art. He becomes obsessed with a photograph by artist Miguel Calderón, drawn to the image of a vulture, and purchases it, marking the beginning of his career as a collector. This encounter sparks a close friendship between Pedro and Miguel, leading their worlds to cross over.
  Pedro becomes involved in a theater production, but his lack of experience, the repulsive character he must portray, and the actress's contradictory seductive attitude plunge him into an identity crisis. The play takes a greater emotional toll on him than the tragic events he faces daily in his work. As the worlds of art and loss adjustment collide, Pedro finds himself trapped in a paradox, unable to discern which of the two realms is more deceitful.
