A turbulent coming of age story about a young boy growing up in New Mexico during World War II. When a curandera named Ultima moves in with his family, Antonio experiences a series of unusual and terrifying events, which causes him to fight with questions about his own destiny and the powers of this mystical woman. "...has its earnest heart - and setting - in the right place."--USA Today "Carl Franklin's film is true to the tone and spirit of the book."--Roger Ebert "A mostly gentle and tastefully photographed depiction of a young boy's coming of age in rural 1940s New Mexico."--Associated Press "An offbeat slice of Americana will intrigue thoughtful moviegoers."--Hollywood Reporter
