Amidst crashing waves and monumental rocks on a distant coast, two young couples open up a realm of shifting realities. Unbeknownst to them, a mysterious entity watches from high above with Godlike judgment. Between these spaces exists a world balanced on the edge of the modern and the primitive, the high-tech and the rural, the corporeal and the mythic.

This dreamlike astonishment from Carlos Reygadas is a work of feral cinematic expression, splendid in its elemental pleasures, which exist in profound and challenging contrast to its depiction of authoritarian brutality.
