Confusion and eccentricity are all part of life in the vast human ocean of Mexico City -- including the three very different personalities portrayed in this urban fable. By the end of the day, their paths are destined to cross. "El Jairo" (Rodrigo Ostap) is a schizophrenic obsessed with UFOs; Claudia (Regina Orozco) is a woman addicted to pornography; and Juvenico (Patricio Castillo) is a retired teacher trying to come to grips with the future.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
'Chilango' is Mexico City slang for locals, often used dismissively by provincials — the title reclaims it with chaotic pride. Enderle made this after years in advertising, explaining the visual punch.
Rodrigo Ostap reportedly stayed in character off-set, which the crew found 'deeply inconvenient' per interviews. The UFO prop was stolen and returned three times during filming.
