The documentary by Lourdes Portillo begins when Portillo receives the news of her uncle Oscar's death, which is first ruled a heart attack and then suicide. Portillo travels to her hometown of Chihuahua, Mexico, to uncover the truth about her uncle's death. Through interviews with Oscar's friends and family, he unveils previously unknown details about his uncle and offers a personal and complex picture of his uncle's life and death.
The man is depicted in three-quarters view, turning straight to the viewers with a penetrating glance. The background is grey, while the clothes, the hair, and cap are black.
Although mythological themes are not commonly encountered in Turkish painting, it is possible to see variations of widespread themes such as the Venus at her Toilet.
