In a small coastal Oaxacan town, Marisol is caught between two men: Mauro, her domineering cousin who has claimed her as his property, and the older would-be guerrilla Mundo, who works for Mauro in his body shop. Though Mundo and Marisol are in love, they always sneak around in secret, afraid word will get back to her possessive cousin. When Mundo is forced to flee to the United States, Mauro kidnaps his young cousin as she tries to covertly maintain a long-distance relationship over text and video chat. Full of menace and the looming threat of violence, the tragic love triangle gets truly Shakespearean when Mundo returns to save his young lover from her savage captor. The latest from director Gerardo Naranjo (MISS BALA) was shot on grainy 16mm Kodak film stock and in Academy ratio with bright colors that evoke his earlier experimental work (like the quirky I'M GONNA EXPLODE) and features powerful performances from the three leads, including an award-winning turn from Noé Hernández (SIN NOMBRE) as Mundo. Winner, Best Actor (Noé Hernández), International Narrative Competition, 2020 Tribeca Film Festival. DIR/SCR/PROD Gerardo Naranjo; PROD Gabriel Garcia Nava. Mexico, 2020, color, 105 min.
