Shes admonishing them to vote the corrupt and tyrannical PRI out of power. Though Alvaro doubts her divinity, hes firmly on her side. He harbors deep personal and political antipathy to the PRI, even before Lourdes Shuler comes asking him to unite her with her sister Lupe, whom she claims is the campesinos Virgin.Hes not the kind to carefully turn down an appeal for help, especially from a beauty he senses might fill a missing part of his being. Besides, the published sketch a savant girl drew of the Virgin looks identical to Lourdes. He imagines she might not have a sister. Then, on the way to dinner, they pick up a tail. Lourdes admits the person couldve been sent by her brother Andres, an advisor to the Mexican president, to retrieve the fortune in gold she stole from her dead father. She claims their father was a German Nazi, which her sister murdered him. Alvaro chooses to stand with the girl while realizing she might become his last adventure. And up to now, even while they travel the trunk roads and trails of Baja, he doesnt know about the infamous comandante of the Mexican federal police who has come from the administrative centre to rid the land of the Virgin, who may be the girl at Alvaros side.
