Setin modern-day Mexico City, See You at Breakfast is the story of four characters, leading lives of quietdesperation, who are thrown together by a despicably violent act. Cristina isan optimistic prostitute managing work, police harassment and the demands ofthe men who fall in love with her such as Ulises, a solitary office workerwho obsesses over a promotion he will never receive. His longtime friendAdolfo, a part-trained veterinarian incapable of distinguishing between a dogand a coyote, is in turn consumed by his infatuation with his neighbour, thebeautiful and sheltered Olivia. She is the daughter of Jehovah's Witnesses, andleads a life of hermit-like seclusion, utterly oblivious to his persistentvoyeurism.

AsUlises and Cristina's relationship moves from finance to romance, and Adolfoworks to make his fantasies of life with Olivia a reality, each seeks thecomfort of normality amid the chaos of the city's corruption and crime, and theseeming impossibility of maintaining a trusting relationship. Witty, dark andmoving, See You at Breakfast offersa refreshingly frank take on gender politics, the nature of attraction and theburden of everyday life.
