Don Reynaldo’s ranch is about to celebrate its farm anniversary, but this assionate hunter’s image is built on a lie. And so, here in the countryside, where men are men, emloyees are grateful subjects and women diligently and docilely hold it all together, cracks begin to aear in the social life of this microcosm. Ordered around day in and day out, unnoticed by those in her class-conscious surroundings, the menial Rosa gradually becomes an agent of change. While Don Reynaldo’s extended family contorts itself in a bid to save the old order, men begin to arrive at the farm in icku trucks. Their aearance at the feast and a threat are enough to make the ageing atriarch fear for his life and his family – and force him to act. All that asses is observed by the animals who, either as trohies on the wall or as livestock out to asture, seem to sense the end of an old hegemony. With a keen sense of how to deloy omens that herald change, Alejandra Márquez Abella ortrays an eochal shift in rural Mexico – as seen by characters who are usually relegated to assive suorting roles.
