Movie description:
The widower Carmelo and his 11-year-old son Tizoc make living selling flowers in Xochimilco. The other flower sellers resent him because he sells his flowers cheaper, so they harass him, vandalizing his house and killing his dog. When father and son watch an extravagant pageant called a posada, which enacts beggars asking for food at a house and being refused at the front door but accepted at the back door, Tizoc wants to have a posada of his own. They buy a chicken and a piñata, but Tizoc gets sick from the old, three-peso chicken and Carmelo has to take him to the doctor. He wraps up the boy in a petate like a taco and carries him to the Hospital Infantil de México, where he sees Diego Rivera’s indigenous-themed painting, La piñata. After checking in his son, Carmelo is robbed, and when the police come, they think Carmelo robbed the thief, so they lock up Carmelo. After five days Carmelo finally persuades the police to let him see his son in the hospital. Tizoc has recovered, but when the return home they find their house burned by the resentful neighbours. The ceaseless persecution Carmelo suffers is painful to watch, despite the attempts at humour.
