- Synopsis
- In a small town caught in the crossfire between the military and the cartels, live a small boy and his mother. One day, she does not return from the marihuana fields where she works. The anguished boy asks his grandmother where his mom went. Struck with grief, the grandmother tells him to go into the forest and pray to the natural elements that she returns unharmed. As the soldiers arrive and the villagers prepare for their last stand, the awesome power of nature manifests itself.
