September 19, 1985, Mexico City. What began as a typical Thursday turned into one of the country's greatest catastrophes when, at 7:19 a.m., an 8.1 magnitude earthquake shook the nation's largest city. Dozens of buildings collapsed, streets and avenues were covered with debris and injured people, while the government froze in the face of a disaster that struck on the eve of the World Cup. Cada Minuto Cuenta intimately portrays the people who lived through the tragedy firsthand, but above all, it tells the story of how heroes and heroines were forged, keeping the catastrophe at bay and making every minute count in their rescue efforts.
Thursday, September 19, 1985. 7 a.m., Mexico City. At the General Hospital, Dr. Angel is in charge of a complicated birth. In the historic center, Camila, an amateur journalist, is doing an independent report. In Tlatelolco, Gabriela goes to work while her husband and children prepare to start the day. The minutes slowly approach 7:19.
A year earlier, Camila confronts her family to follow her dream of becoming a journalist, fleeing Guadalajara. Back in 1985, an hour has passed since the earthquake. At the General Hospital there are signs of life within the rubble. Gabriela tries to return to Tlatelolco amidst all the chaos, anguished for her children. Camila finds some seamstresses trapped inside a maquila factory.
In the 1950s, Ignacio promises his dying mother that he will always take care of Angel, his younger brother.

Gabriel and Camila, each in their own way, make their way to the fallen building in Tlatelolco. Alberto and Regina approach the surface.
Some time ago, Angel was starting a family, but the mistakes he made in the past follow him to the present, where it has been 4 hours since the earthquake. Rescue work at the hospital continues now with the help of the students. In Tlatelolco, attempts to rescue survivors continue. Deep in the rubble, someone calls for help.
It wasn't easy for Camila to survive in the capital or adapt to the world of news, but everything prepared her for the present, where five hours have passed since the earthquake. An incident between Ángel, Ignacio and Camila triggers a race against time to ask for foreign help. Finally, the government's intentions and the side that Ignacio has decided to take come to light.
