Synopsis

A family lives in the Mexican countryside, raising animals for bullfighting. Esther is in charge of running the ranch, while her husband Juan, a world-renowned poet, breeds and selects the animals. Although they live in an open marriage, their relationship begins to fall apart when Esther falls in love with an American horse trainer and Juan cannot control his jealousy. Carlos Reygadas’ heart-wrenching exploration of marriage and intimacy stars the director himself and his wife in the leading roles.
