It is no coincidence that the title of this film is a quote from Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much. Hitchcock always told stories of ordinary people who became involved in extraordinary events, and nothing could better summarize what Enrique Metinides' life has been like than that description.
A historic photographer for the Mexican red press, Metinides is a very calm and orderly man who gives the impression that he never sought to get into this profession, but that since he was a child he was dragged by circumstances to witness with his camera the bloodiest events that occurred in Mexico in the last half century. With an intriguing and careful story, which little by little gives us more elements to better understand the character's particular style, the film does him justice, highlighting his impressive photographic work, which after long years of disdain has been revalued to the point of transforming him into a renowned visual artist today.
