FAUNA is director Nicolás Pereda's ninth feature. The film comments on how narco gang violence has eviscerated Mexico, its society and its imagination. In the larger frame narrative, estranged offspring Luisa and Gabino revisit their parents in a ghost village. Their father’s only interest in them is sparked by Luisa’s actor boyfriend when he acts out the role of a narco kingpin. In the acerbic inset, played by the same actors, a man arrives at a hotel looking for a lost friend and becomes embroiled with the sister of the girl who’s going out with the thuggish son of the local kingpin. The man’s life becomes a nightmare, the gross brutish blind he suffers contrasting with the glamor of narco fiction.
