In rural Mexico, Juan and Natalia, an upper-middle-class couple move with their young children to the countryside seeking a simpler, more "authentic" life. Their pastoral dream gradually fractures as tensions emerge - between husband and wife, adults and children, landowners and workers. Blending realism with dreamlike, surreal imagery (including a mysterious red devil figure), the film moves fluidly across time and space, exploring guilt, violence, class division, sexuality, and spiritual unease. Rather than a linear narrative, it presents fragments of memory and inner turmoil, portraying a world where domestic life, desire, and moral darkness coexist beneath moments of natural beauty.
