In the bustling metropolis of Mexico City, cloud seeding scientist Dr. Ximena Cruz desperately tries to solve the city’s water crisis. Frustrated by government inaction and pressure from her research institute, she breaks. Returning to her drought-stricken hometown, Ximena stays with her estranged father, triggering painful childhood memories. An argument reveals the clash between Ximena’s scientific approach and her father’s belief in ancient water myths. Through recollections of Tlaloc, the Aztec god of rain, and the Great Goddess, Ximena finds a missing link in her research: the interconnectedness of humanity with the elements and the importance of collective action.
Inspired by her father’s wisdom, Ximena realizes the solution lies not only in her institute’s efforts but also in the collaborative sharing of data across all water-related technologies. Determined, she becomes a whistleblower, advocating for open-sourcing her research to foster greater innovation and collaboration in combating water scarcity.
