Angel is complex being.
Believing himself to be half man, half angel, half alive, half dead, his conscience is governed by a voice that speaks to him from the cosmos. In some part of that vast, inexplicable black ocean contained within his mind, there is an island of red earth hills to which Angel arrives with the mission of fumigating, and so erradicating, a plague of lice that produce in the local wine a strange taste of earth. Beneath an atmosphere of electric skies and contact with simple people, Angel encounters the opportunity to resolve his split personality through the choice between two women. This one in turn falls in love with Angela, a shy and simple married woman, who sweeps him away to the man. This complex and secret interior conflict is accompanied by another more physical and real, a totally nervous farmer called Patricio, the husband of Angela and lover of Mari.
