Marcos, a middle-aged driver, is tormented by the guilt of an unsuccessful kidnapping: he and his wife kidnapped a baby who ended up dying. Seeking redemption, the man confesses his crime to Ana, his boss's daughter, who leads a secret life as a high-end escort — and with whom he shares an ambiguous relationship. Between explicit and contemplative scenes, Reygadas explores the moral limits and alienation of contemporary Mexican society. Acclaimed at Cannes and considered by Sight and Sound magazine to be one of the 30 films of the decade, Battle in Heaven features a cast of non-professional actors. Restored in 4K and supervised by the director from the original negative.
