As a typical arthouse film, the film is very slow - to a large extent the film feels more like a tourist trip to the interior of Mexico than a feature film where we are treated to some folklore and some natural beauty - but if you can stay awake the film becomes it gradually becomes more penetrating and the film turns out not to be bad at all. The film follows three people who left the same village because the village offered them too few opportunities and at the same time return to the village where they appear to have their own problems, with both the pain of those who left and the pain of the stragglers becomes visible.

Three former residents of a small, conservative Mexican village return to the village to face their past. Maria [Sonia Souoh] has been rejected by her family but returns for her mother's funeral. Musician Esteban [Noé Hernández] returns three years ago to reunite with his wife Chabela [Aida López] and convenes the traditional village tribunal when it turns out that Chabela is in a relationship with José Luis [Jorge Doal]. Finally, market vendor Toña [Myriam Bravo] returns from corrupted Mexico City to visit her daughter and confronts her mother and stepfather head on. The storylines are cleverly interwoven and provide a compelling picture of the struggle of three women with their sexual identity, desires and traumas.

Three storylines in a Mexican region, a region with not many opportunities. An environment where everyone has their own problems, separate and yet connected. The central thread seems to be sexuality, especially how women (wish to) experience it or should undergo it.

Three subjects that are each located in a different spectrum of the current (legal) society. The first story is about an amorous relationship between people of the same sex, the second story is technically about adultery where, after many years, the husband suddenly reappears as if there was no problem. The third story is poignant and takes place in the incestuous atmosphere.

Each time it is people who return to their homeland that they have left for certain reasons. The conclusion for all seems to be that little has changed.
