In a backward village where members of two rival families have kept killing each other for generations, a young doctor is expected to avenge his father.
A useless and bloody vendetta has been going on for ages between two families in this mexican village. Men, sons, have killed each other for generations, for a so-called conception of honor in a revenge that never ends since it is also triggered by people of the village.
Now, today, there are only two sons left, one in each family. One has become a doctor in the big city and his culture is modern. The other last one - of the other family - hasn't left the village and is waiting for the doctor to come "home" as he plans to kill him, to settle this war on this matter of honor once and for all.And the people of the village want blood.
When the doctor finally comes to the village, because of his mother influenced by the villagers, he faces the other son who challenges his courage. First he refuses, but they have this fight on the island across the river.Just wounds. Finally the doctor convinces his opponent to make peace in front of the whole village and not listen to the opinion of the other villagers.
