    Plot: With drug trafficking on the rise in Colombia, an indigenous village communities culture slowly destroys, as greed and obsession takes over.

    A Colombian film usually means one thing, it's going to be about drugs. For this film, you'd be right.



    I don't get that excited for a drugs film for main two main reasons. One, it's not a topic that I really want to know much about and they all usually end up in the same way.


    For this one, I noticed it managed to not only approach the drugs aspect in a different way, but make it more than just about the drugs.


    It starts off my exploring the culture and in an indigenous way which was interesting to see and be explained.
    Then once the drugs got involved, it did rather refreshing look at the impact of drugs effects this particular community and how it changes certain characters.
    But while we get the expected tropes, the foundations that were built-in made this a second half and finale that had my interest and just made the ending mean something.


    All the performances were pretty good and all looked be natives which was great to see. Carmina Martinez played a vital part to the story and did a good job of when her character needed to shine.
    Natalia Reyes was a stand-out in the first half and was effectively the character of the audience to aid us into this criminal world.
    There is little other info I could find about the cast. So that's all I have.


    The Colombia locations gave it effortless authenticity and it gave us time to appreciate the story even more.
    The score was not massively impactful. But it certainly had its moments that enhanced certain scenes.


    But in the end, this film is all about the strength of the story. For someone who is not a fan of drugs-related films to momentarily convert me has to be commended.
    Directors Cristina Gallego and Ciro Guerra and their team have done a great job in refreshing this sub-genre. This unique approach was nicely developed, it got me invested and all of that hard work in the build-up gave us a memorable finale that gave us a well-rounded story and many fleshed-out characters.
