In a town in Veracruz being buffeted by cold northerly winds, seven men and woman start out on paths that will change their lives. A well-intentioned Christian gives in to the temptation of a young widow: a mayor succumbs to his greed: an elderly lady adopts a young burn victim: a doctor breaks away from a past that had hardened her heart: an old priest comes and goes trying to understand and a lost poet rediscovers his capacity to love and write. All these passions come together in a yearning to give meaning to their lives.

An unemployed construction worker heading out west stops at a remote farm in the desert to get water when his car overheats. The farm is being worked by a group of East European Catholic nuns, headed by the strict mother superior, who believes the man has been sent by God to build a much needed church in the desert.
