Nieri is a young Huichol indigenous man, whose dream is to travel with his musical band to play in a concert in the great city of Mexico. But his father, who is a Mara'akame (Huichol shaman), has other plans for him, as he must follow his tradition and find the Blue deer in his Dreams, in order to learn to heal and become Mara'akame. Nieri travels to the big city where, being completely lost, he will find his vision.

Nieri viaja a la gran ciudad donde al estar completamente perdido encontrará su visión.
