Portraits of informal workers in Mexico City. They comme and use ingenious ways and fantasy to sell their wares or services. We follow his day to day life, as if they entered a big arena of Lucha Libre, ready for combat. Their strategies to survive, their unique way of entering the scene and their daily struggle to gain a spot in public scene are revealed like a tragicomedy. They are the lively and continuous image of this peculiar economic and social system.
