The Untamed

Set in contemporary times within rural Mexico, the narrative unfolds in a world where modern life intersects with primal desires and hidden violence. The rural setting offers a stark stage for intimate crises, infidelity, and the eruption of violence. The timeline concentrates on a downward spiral rather than a long, historical arc.

The action centers on a remote farm in the Mexican countryside, with the barn as a focal location for the alien creature and intimate encounters. The setting juxtaposes quiet rural life with shocking, taboo events that unfold on the family property. The open landscape underscores the isolation and moral ambiguity at the story’s core.

🔥 Desire

Desire drives the core decisions of the characters, pushing them toward secrecy and danger. Alejandra’s unfulfilled longing, Ángel’s coercive tendencies, and Veronica’s fixation on the alien all shape dangerous choices. The film links private longing to public consequences, showing how repression can erupt into violence.

🚫 Taboo

By mixing human sexuality with a non-human entity, the film probes taboos surrounding fidelity, consent, and the boundaries of love. The relationships formed in the barn push conventional morality to the edge and blur lines between fantasy and harm. The result is a morally ambiguous narrative that questions societal norms.

🩸 Violence & Consequences

The story escalates from interpersonal conflict to brutal acts with lasting repercussions. Infidelity, aggression, and the alien’s unpredictability culminate in deaths and a chilling final act. The rural setting highlights how desire can devastate families and communities alike.
