Although it is Sunday, election day, Salvador decides to get up very early and begins to work on his plot of land as on any other day. He is a humble and quiet farmer, an introspective man who pays little attention to the hubbub and commotion that has arisen in the town around the close election of the next mayor. But his routine changes suddenly. During the early morning someone has entered his cornfield and has dumped several corpses that pile up macabrely in the middle of his crops. Salvador, full of worry and rage, goes to the town to report the massacre, but the mayor and the police commander decide not to tell anyone or set off alarms so as not to disturb the elections.
