Description
"Nos muestra como el choque entre el occidente y nuestras figuras prehispánicas tiñen de sangre una pequeña obra rural que aborda el episodio bíblico de la derrota de Luzbel (el diablo).Los indígenas desean a toda costa combinar sus antiguos ritos y mostrar al ángel caído como una víctima de las circunstancias en una obra teatral. Al enterarse de este echo atroz el Padre Santos, un ferviente defensor de la iglesia y sus costumbres, comienza una batalla contra ellos junto con el Cacique, quien se odia a sí mismo por sus orígenes indígenas. Los habitantes del pueblo parecen desamparados ante las injusticias y los crímenes a los que son sometidos, hasta que los ayuda el párroco del pueblo vecino, quien desconoce cómo conciliar ambas creencias."--Container.
Description
"An exciting story of passion, drama, and the struggle between good and evil. The conflict escalates when a Catholic priest accuses the Nahuatl Indians of blasphemy due to their depiction of the Archangel Michael and Saint Lucifer in an ancient theatrical play. Religion and politics clash in a film which provides a fascinating insight into a culture which existed in Mexico centuries before the arrival of the Spaniards."

Rated B-15, not recommended for those younger than 15 years old.
