Overview
During their travels in the Cambodian jungle, two sisters, Camila and Márgara, meet David Masters-Iturbe and discover that they all have something in common—their Mexican heritage. The three proceed to tell stories in order to alleviate the boredom of long nights in their jungle hotel and end up reconstructing ancient Mexico in the story of the sisters’ ancestor. This imagined hero takes off on an adventure from Mexico to the American Old West, far from the human rights horrors of Pol Pot coming to life just outside their window.Author Biography
