Filmed on location in Truchas, New Mexico, the film is set in the fictional rural town of Milagro, with a population of 426. In keeping with the northern New Mexico setting that it is depicted as being a part of, Milagro is a predominantly Hispanic and Catholic town, with a largely interrelated population. The picture tells of one man's quixotic struggle as he defends his small beanfield and his community against much larger business and New Mexico state political interests. |
