Carlos Reygadas' Cannes-winning film is set in north Mexico's Mennonite community. Johan is a hard-working farmer, married to Esther but having an affair with single woman Marianne. But it is a principle of the faith to be non-condemnatory, and the adulterous affair is a matter for the three principals to somehow cope with - until tragedy strikes, forcing a painful resolution.
