Short description

Johan and his family are Mennonites from the north of Mexico. Against the law of God and Man, Johan falls in love with another woman.

What's left behind the scenes

The characters in the film speak a German-Plautdietsch dialect – this is the language of the Mennonites, particularly in Russia, Kazakhstan, and the North American language belt.
Director Carlos Reygadas filmed real Mennonites from communities in Mexico, Canada, and Germany in the film.
