To pay for their own harvest festival, the villagers migrate from their mountain haven to the hot, humid lowlands where they labor in the annual cotton harvest. They then head back to the highlands, and this film allows us to share with them the food and drinking and dancing at their fiesta, their church rituals, their work on the hillsides shepherding their small flocks, and the community spirit that enables the village to sustain its customs and permits its peoples to live a good life amidst austerity and despite the historical violence that destroyed many similar villages and sent so many Guatemalan peasants into enforced exile in the 70s and 80s.
