Synopsis

Alfonso is an old farmer who has returned home to tend to his son, who is gravely ill. He rediscovers his old house, where the woman who was once his wife still lives, with his daughter-in-law and grandson.

MUBI's take

Winner of the Camera d’Or at Cannes, this poignant, atmospheric drama is set amid Colombia’s sugarcane agriculture: looking at its plantations, farmers, and working conditions. A deceptively simple but visually striking tale about a difficult return, played mostly by nonprofessional actors.
