Alejandra, a young housewife, raises her two sons with her husband Angel. Fabian, her brother, is a nurse at the local hospital. Their provincial life is about to be disturbed by the arrival of the mysterious Veronica.

After Sangre, The bastards, Revolución and Heli (best director at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival), this «wild region», is the new provocation of Mexican director Amat Escalante. Such as Pasolini’s Theorem, an atavistic and suffocating system of hypocrisy is about to implode when a stranger comes and discloses the sexual frustrations and desires of everyone. An essential film!

Silver Lion Award for best director at the 73rd Venice Film Festival.
