El hoyo en la cerca
Mexico
Joaquin del Paso
Every year, Centro Escolar los Pinos a prestigious religious school for boys, sends its teenage students, “the sons of Mexico’s elite class”, to a secluded countryside campsite. Under the watchful eyes of their teachers and priests, the boys are guided through their physical and moral “development”. They all try to find their place in this elitist and hermetic society where the economic solvency and skin color of the parents determines the child’s status in the pecking order.
On the first night, the atmosphere of the camp is tainted by the discovery of a hole in the perimeter fence, triggering a chain of mysterious events. It seems that an intruder from the dangerous neighboring village has broken in and that the kids could be the target of organ trafficking and satanic rituals fueled by a desire of social vengeance.
As the hysteria and paranoia spreads among the boys, it becomes clear that things are not how they seem. What if the threat isn’t from outside, but within the camp?
