"I Am MAD", says the tattoo on Miguel's back, and the assertion is double: he is M.A.D. (his full name is Miguel Ángel Danna), and he, as we'll soon find out, is mad. The thing is, something happened when Miguel was a kid, a very close tragic event that left an indelible mark. Later, Miguel would spend twenty years living in a secret sect, a community settled in the mountains, with his whole family. Now, having left the sect and abandoned his projects of changing the world, he is confronted with his relatives and looks for his mother Ana and Mehir, his abusive guru, both of them fugitives from justice; while he tries to understand his father, his past marked by tragedy, and his present. "Who is crazier?", he asks: he who goes after his dream or the office worker with his asphyxiating daily routines? Guided by MAD's gaze, following him in his encounters with other characters from his life, attending conversations and declarations of a disturbing sincerity, Tokman tries to reconstruct "the instant in which Miguel's reality was split in half".
