Plot:	Marcos is the middle-aged chauffeur of Ana, the daughter of a well-known Mexican general. He knows that she leads a double life, working nights in a brothel. She knows that he kidnapped a baby for ransom. Now their shared secrets unite them body and soul.
Overview:	Cast entirely with non-professionals, "Battle In Heaven" tells the story of Marcos (Marcos Hernandez), the middle-aged chauffeur of Ana (Anapola Mushkadiz), daughter of a Mexican general. Marcos is the only member of Ana's household who knows she leads a double life. Although a child of Mexico's political elite, Ana amuses herself by working as a prostitute in a high-end brothel. But, Marcos also has a secret. He and his wife (Berta Ruiz) kidnapped a baby for ransom and the infant died in their custody. When he confesses to Ana, a bond of secrecy consecrated by the flesh unites them. As the police draw closer, Ana urges Marcos to turn himself in, but he seeks redemption from a higher power... The second film from maverick director Carlos Reygadas, who first burst onto the world cinema stage with his stunning 2002 feature debut, "Japón"! "Battle In Heaven" is sexually explicit and a meditation on crime, class and guilt in present-day Mexico City.
