NATURAL BEHAVIOUR / LES LOIS DU TERROIR
In a cattle-raising village in the mountains, live two brothers, Carlos and Paco, who depend completely on each other. They are sharing the responsibilities of fathering an 11-year-old orphan girl. Among the visitors to the summer festival at the village is a striking Oriental woman, Keiko, who is accompanied by a man. During a dance, a violent incident occurs and the man disappears. The woman takes refuge in the house of the two brothers. The young girl, who has lost her own mother, is immediately attracted to the mysterious newcomer. So is Paco. A series of events, not all of which are accidental, upset the village. Things will never be the same again...
