A cynical and disillusioned man from the city heads to a remote Mexican countryside to prepare his death. There he finds lodging with an old Indian widow in her rickety home overlooking a desolate canyon. Confronted with the old woman's infinite humanity, in the vastness of a wild, breathtaking nature, he oscillates between cruelty and lyricism. And with senses drugged, his desire and instincts for life and raw sexuality reawaken. Redemption is found through a spiritual impulse and existential renaissance.
