An indigenous Mexican village turns into a ghost town as most of its inhabitants have migrated to the US: How does it feel like to live on the other side of the American Dream? The villagers of El Alberto develop an unusual solution: They slip into the roles of border guards and human traffickers to re-enact the traumatic crossing for paying tourists who can thus experience being a migrant for one night.
