Tizoc

In a small village near the Oaxaca in the 19th century, a humble and brave Indigenous peoples of Mexico trapper named Tizoc prepares himself for his wedding to a fellow Native girl named Machinza. He has an unresolved quarrel with her family (which dates before their births and is due to the enmity of their respective tribes), and also because he is better skilled and can hunt more animals without the need for firearms which ruin their hide. Meanwhile, a Mexicans of European descent woman named Maria arrives in town with her father, a wealthy cattle driver who wants to check on his businesses. After Tizoc notices it, the town's priest is highly amazed at Maria's striking resemblance to the Virgin of Guadaloupe from the church. When a hunting expedition goes wrong and Tizoc rescues her father, Maria begins to become interested by his demeanor and approach. At first appalled by his apparent lack of civility, she seeks Tizoc in his home near the mountains and eventually falls in love with him, despite the fact that she is already engaged.
