Summary: A man leaves Mexico City for the remote countryside to prepare for his death. There he finds lodgeing with an old Indian widow in her rickety home overlooking a desolate canyon. In the vastness of a wild, breathtaking nature, he confronts the old woman's infinte humanity and oscillates between cruelty and lyricism. His dulled senses return to him, reawakening his desires and instincts for life and raw sexuality. This film was a winner of the Cannes Film Festival. DVD features include chapter selection, thatrical trailer, interview with director, and making-of documentary.
