A couple’s open relationship, based for years on mutually accepting sexual experiences with other people, is challenged when the wife tries to hide her love for a horse trainer. Her husband, blinded by jealousy, starts spying on her in their isolated ranch, losing for the first time control over his relationship and family.
Six years after «Post Tenebras Lux», Mexican filmmaker Carlos Reygadas continues to explore the limits of film narration with the most personal film of his career. The disintegration of a theoretically progressive marriage against the background of a peaceful landscape becomes even more interesting with Reygadas’s decision to cast him and his wife, Natalia López, as the leading duo.
