The farmer Alfonso is an old man when he returns to his home after an absence of nearly 20 years. His family tries to eke out a living among the sugarcane plantations, but the struggle against nature has taken its toll on Alfonso's son Gerard. Alfonso is reunited with the woman with whom he once lived, with his daughter-in-law, and with his grandson. He tries to fix the things he neglected, but that is no easy task in this land of dust and ruin. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)
