Synopsis
Don Aurelio guards a station in the Sonoran desert that was shut down in the eighties. Nothing happens on his shifts, which is the point of them.
Then his transistor picks up the tower: a request programme, a presenter's voice, songs from 1983. He keeps listening. The callers start naming people he knew, and then a night he has spent his whole life not thinking about.
