In its sixty-five minutes, Paz Encinaâs first film, carries RamĂłn and CĂĄndida, an aging couple living in the deep country, from sunrise, when they hang their old hammock between two trees in a clearing, to sunset, when they take it in. Settled in its tenuous grasp, they talk about the heat, the rain, the dog that wonât stop barking, the war, and their son, MĂĄximo, who is doing his military service and hasnât been heard from lately. The father lives in hope, the mother in fear, and scenes of their daily rounds of labor and restâimages of a contemplative pictorial exaltationâare joined by voice-over flashbacks revealing the story of their sonâs departure and the rumors that followed.
