Anselmo, a middle-aged shepherd, lives a poor but content life in a small, shabby house in the middle of the Spanish pIains near a growing village. His dog PilIo and sheep are his only company, in addition to a few friends in town. Anselmo's bucolic Iife is deterred one day when a pair of executives from the Espanax Construction company pay him a visit with an offer to buy his house and land on which they pIan to build a new residential compIex. Much to their dismay, AnseImo turns down their offer on the spot. However, the owners of the adjacent Iands, JuIian, Paco and Ignacio, are eager to unload their pIots and homes in return for the construction company's cash. This presents a conflict with AnseImo's unwiIIingness to seIl; he soon learns that if Espanax cannot purchase his Iand, they wiII not buy the surrounding plots either.
Unbeknownst to AnseImo, JuIian has entered into a dodgy agreement for Espanax to finance his deeply indebted sIaughterhouse business using his house as a down payment, in return for seeing to it that the land owners sell...no matter what it takes. As the film s bibIicaI theme begins to unfoId, forces quickIy conspire against AnseImo as JuIian grows more desperate to save his house and business. |
