Synopsis

When he accompanies his girlfriend to Mexico where she works as a medical researcher, Eric--a historian and a bit of a loner--finds himself with plenty of time on his hands, and he can't resist the opportunity to research some of his own family history. His grandfather traveled to Mexico from England 100 years ago to work at a silver mine in the Sierra Madre, where Eric's father was born. When Eric travels to the town where his grandfather lived, he encounters his grandmother's grave and also some vivid slices of contemporary Mexican life.
