After completing a prison sentence for wounding a rancher who sexually abused his girfriend Paloma, the peasant Aurelio returns to his land with the intention of starting a new life with her. But the animosity of the past is still alive and threatens the dreams he is willing to defend with his life. This is a magnificent rural drama, framed by the unsurpassable photography of Gabriel Figueroa. Land and women are worshipped here for their unique capacity of giving life.
