Tijuana, a Mexican town at the border with the United States of America. A city on the brink of disaster. Mixing documentary and fiction, Navajazo portrays characters struggling to survive in a hostile environment, where all they have is each other and the only thing they possess is the will to keep on living, no matter the cost. By the Tijuana river shore, we encounter prostitutes and migrants, a musician nicknamed El Muerto, a director of porn films, a collector of toys and a home-video actor known as El Alacrán.
