The blending of centuries of tradition with modern technology is seen through the eyes of three Mexicans - a farmer, a butcher and an architect. Mexicans take greayt pride in their Indian culture and in the contributions of their past civilizations. Traditional customs are not ignored but used as a basis for growth and progress.
