Plot

The film centers 50 year old María García, the owner of Dos Estaciones, a once-majestic tequila factory struggling to stay afloat and the final hold-over from generations of Mexican-owned tequila plants in the highlands of Jalisco; the rest have folded to foreign corporations. Once one of the wealthiest people in town, María knows her current financial situation is untenable. When a persistent plague and an unexpected flood cause irreversible damage, Maria is forced to do everything she can to save her community's main source of economy and pride.

Critical response

Writing for The Hollywood Reporter, Sheri Linden said "It's rare when a debut feature strikes the perfect balance of ingredients and especially rare when it does so in a distinctive and memorable way."[9]

Manohla Dargis for The New York Times named the film a NYT Critics' Pick and called it "visually arresting."[10]
