A filmmaker begins a search for his long-lost friend, poet Samuel Noyola. Throughout his quest, he discovers Noyola's counter cultural attitude and outlandish persona might have something to do with his disappearance.
"Selected at the Morelia International Film Festival 2019 and nominated for the Ariel Award 2020 for Best Feature Documentary, 'Vaquero del mediodía' is a film by journalist and filmmaker Diego Enrique Osorno (director of 'El alcalde', 'La muñeca tetona', co-writer of 'La libertad del Diablo' with Everardo González). Starting from the director's personal interest in finding poet Samuel Noyola - a personal friend - the documentary takes the appropriate journalistic distance, but with the necessary multiplicity of perspectives, to paint a rich and well-rounded portrait of a literary character as beloved as he was controversial among those who knew him, from the personal to the artistic. A fascinating search that leads through the myth of the cursed artist."
