  Battle in Heaven Production NotesTagline: An uncompromising pursuit for redemption.
Marcos, a general's driver, is haunted by the tragic outcome of a child kidnapping he perpetrated with his wife. In his troubled search for relief, he confesses to Ana, his boss' daughter...
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.
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 Anas household who knows she leads a double life. Although a child of Mexicos 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
