Impressive and powerful tragedy from leading light of New Argentinian Cinema. "intense, compelling drama... Impressive if challenging-to-watch work…" Variety.
A mute girl. An adulterous wife. A brutal world. The bitter realities of farm life on Argentina´s arid pampas form a backdrop to this powerful elemental tragedy, where simmering enmities, revenge and violence rise up in a whirlwind that engulfs the inhospitable outpost and all its inhabitants. Breathtakingly shot with daring, original use of animation, Carri pulls no punches in this dark, affecting tale of lust, rage and the impossibility of innocence.
