Alejandra is a young mother who raises her two children in a small town with her husband Angel. Her brother Fabian works as a nurse at the local hospital. Their provincial lives are disrupted with the arrival of the mysterious Veronica, a sexy woman who will put to check family values which hypocrisy, homophobia, and misogyny, until now, had governed local morals. Veronica convinces everyone that in a nearby forest, at a secluded cabin, there is something out of this world which will serve as answer to everyone's’ problems. Silver Lion for best director at Venice 2016.
