Scope and content

In the Mexican Desert of Chihuahua Mennonites live as two centuries ago ... until electricity arrives in their “perfect world”. Refusing technological progress, the orthodox begin an exodus to one of the world's most isolated places, the Bolivian forest. The film tells the stories of four protagonists living in the two Mennonite colonies of El Sabinal and El Capulìn, the first rejects any modern technology, the latter accepting such innovations as electricity and cars. In balance between tradition and modernity, between past and future, the four protagonists are longing for their “perfect world”.
