synopsis
Juan has been haunted by memories of his family's southern ranch for a long time but has not found any good reasons to revisit it for many years now. It was a favorite place in his childhood. Recently, he has had dreams in which he is stabbed to death there. When he falls and receives some serious head injuries, his doctors perform surgery on him and then tell him to take a long rest. This is just the excuse he needs to visit the ranch, and he heads south to encounter whatever fate awaits him there.
