Inspired by stories included in Juan Rulfo’s collection El llano en llamas, Alberto Isaac narrates the mishaps of Anacleto Morones: a healer who roams the landscapes of Comala, saving souls through pleasure. With humor and sensuality, starring mythical figures of classic Mexican cinema, Isaac orchestrates an exceptional comedy that veers into Rulfo’s terrain without the standard tragic tone.
