The Ochoa family is running their own emergency ambulance service in Mexico City – which is not strictly legal. In the city's rich neighbourhoods they engage in absurd races to help wealthy people in need. But customers unable to pay them and compulsory and ever rising bribes force the family into a moral dilemma. Luke Lorentzen's award winning documentary, tinged in a pale neon light, shows the downfall of a literally privatized health care system in sometimes breathless, sometimes contemplative scenes.
