Fresh off assisting Luis Bunuel on EXTERMINATING ANGEL, director Arturo Ripstein made his directorial debut with this fatalistic western written by Columbian novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez with dialogue by Mexican novelist Carlos Fuentes. Just released after an eighteen year sentence for murder, Juan returns to his home to make up for lost time with the woman he loves only to discover that the two sons of the man he killed have sworn revenge on him. While one of the brothers starts to question the truth of events that happened before he was born, the other's obsession with the vow he made to his father drives him to repeat the tragedies of the past. Marga Lopez, Jorge Martinez de Hoyos, Enrique Roch, and Alfredo Leal star.
