Synopsis Richard and Sara Everton, a middle-aged couple devoted to each other and, perhaps, foolhardy, move from California to a small village in Mexico to reopen an abandoned copper mine. As foreigners in an alien environment, they must learn to cope with the villagers' exaggerated respect, their own disorientation, the things they discover about each other--and the terminal cancer with which Richard is diagnosed soon after they arrive.
