| Crossing the Mexico-California border, Damian, a successful environmental artist, accidentally kills a pregnant woman. Desperate, he flees leaving behind his wife and the imminent birth of their own child. Inconsolable in his grief, Damian is compelled to journey to his ancestral homeland in Baja California. With the friendship of a native guide, Damian discovers rich lessons and a revived passion for existence. A spiritual odyssey/road movie, this visually stunning film contains the first footage ever shot of the wondrous ancient murals in the Sierras, the largest cave paintings in the world. This exuberant film debut from the award-winning editor of LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE and AMORES PERROS was the winner of 7 Ariel Awards (Mexican Academy Awards) in 1999 including Best Film and Best First Film. | ||||
