With a guitar on his back and a repertoire of exactly three tunes, Rafaelito and his two friends make their way to an indigenous community in Mexico’s Huasteca region, where they are supposed to perform at a funeral. The magical power of the music takes hold quickly and is echoed in the faces of the guests and young musicians. The soulful songs offer solace and make it easier to say goodbye. Then the widow requests a fourth song.
