1999: Sombra y Santos viven en un extraño limbo desde que estalló la huelga de la UNAM. Sin saber qué lado tomar, sin escuela, sin propósito, los amigos inventan extrañas maneras de matarel tiempo. Pero su rutina es interrumpida con la llegada inesperada de Tomás, el hermano menor de Sombra. Tomás descubre que su héroe, Epigmenio Cruz, un mítico cantante de los años sesenta, agoniza en algún hospital recóndito y convence a Sombra y a Santos de ir a rendirle homenaje. La búsqueda de Epigmenio se convierte en un viaje de tres días atravesando las fronteras invisibles de la Ciudad de México.

Set in 1999 against a backdrop of student protests, Güeros is a road movie that becomes a voyage of discovery for three rootless young people seeking to bridge the gap between aimlessness and social purpose.
