“Imagine “The Godfather” made by dazzling Latin American directors who combine bravura filmmaking with political awareness and a probing social conscience.” LA Times

What was meant to be a one-time marijuana deal by a member of Colombia’s Wayuu tribe soon becomes a major drug trafficking operation. It transforms the group and sets in motion the disintegration of a rich culture in this gripping, epic crime film.

Narra la historia real de una familia indígena Wayuu, liderada por Rapayet Abuchaibe y su suegra Úrsula Pushaina, que manejaban el tráfico de marihuana en La Guajira que los enfrentó, no solo con las autoridades, sino también con su propio clan, que los acusaba de perder muchos de sus valores ancestrales.

Directed by Cristina Gallego and Ciro Guerra. Colombia/Denmark/Mexico. 125 min. 2018.

Presented by RoxCine.
