- Koki makes a living in Guatemala City by winning the trust of people while arranging the theft of their possessions. By day he is a guide to tourists who get mugged at gunpoint, by night he seduces men only to lead them back to Carlos's hotel, where they will be robbed. Koki and Carlos function as two sides of the same coin, justifying these violent activities through the need to survive. When Koki becomes the target of one of his victims and, as a result, is swiftly replaced by Carlos with another young good looking boy, he can observe what had up to then been his life in what feels like a disembodied experience.

- Ars Medicina is a story about a team of doctors and surgeons who undertake a journey of personal discovery and compassion. The medical team travels to Solola, a breathtakingly beautiful but impoverished jungle community in rural Guatemala. For six days the team works around the clock with limited equipment and supplies to perform life-saving treatments and operations for the thousands of Mayan Indians and Guatemalans who come for help. Their journey gives insight into the heart-breaking reality of health care in under-developed countries, but also provides a glimmer of hope for the future. For many of the patients it is their first experience in modern medicine. For many of the doctors it is their first experience in endless need. The experience changes both the doctors' and patients' lives forever.
