[ENG]
Alfonso is an old farmer who has returned home to tend to his son, who is gravely ill. He rediscovers his old house, where the woman who was once his wife still lives, with his daughter-in-law and grandson. The landscape that awaits him resembles a wasteland. Vast sugar cane plantations surround the house, producing perpetual clouds of ash. 17 years after abandoning them, Alfonso tries to fit back in and save his family.
**************
Years after abandoning his wife and child, a man returns to find their rural homestead surrounded by sugarcane fields. Fires rage constantly as part of the harvesting process, filling the skies with great plumes of ash. Though the stubborn matriarch refuses to quit her modest property (the “land”), no living thing could possibly thrive amid such a smoldering Gehenna, and indeed, the man’s only reason for returning to this infernal place is the fact that his son has fallen ill. While mirthless in the extreme, Cesar Acevedo’s deliberately paced and distant-feeling debut works its way under audiences’ skin, weaving a haunting allegory through painterly compositions, while distinguishing itself as a worthy candidate for that subset of festivals which specializes in arduous cinema. (Peter Debruge, Variety)
