In northern Mexico at the beginning of the twentieth century, the wife of a silver mine owner leaves her home and travels into isolated Indigenous settlements in the Sierra Madre. Surrounded by harsh mountain landscapes and the closed world of an ancient community, her understanding of faith, identity, and human connection begins to change. The story explores alienation, the search for another spiritual order, and the encounter between European consciousness and a traditional culture.
