For generations, the indigenous Mexicans who live off the land reside in the picturesque village of Xochimilco, by the lakeside. Maria Candelaria falls passionately in love with Lorenzo Rafael. This couple spends the most beautiful and unforgettable moments of their lives by the lake, under the willows, in a thatched cottage, forgetting the world around them and yearning for a happy future. However... This immortal work in the history of Mexican cinema, which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, reflects the life of indigenous people with a fluid style and poetic language, imbued with a strong sense of life and a vivid pictorial mood, paving the way for Mexican cinema to enter its golden age. The cinematography by Mexican master photographer Figueroa features a slow and rigorous rhythm of action, highlighting the characters' emotions and the realistic beauty of nature, showcasing his superb skills in this film, making every shot as beautiful as a painting. The lead actress, Dolores del Río, won the Best Actress award at the first Ariel Awards (1946) organized by the newly established Mexican Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences for her extraordinary performances in this film and "La Mujer Abandonada."
