The rules are simple: Deliver or Die

ActionThriller

It’s Friday night in Asunción and the temperature is 40ºC. Víctor, a 17-year-old wheelbarrow-boy, dreams of becoming famous and covets a cell phone in Mercado 4. He is offered the chance to deliver seven boxes with unknown contents in exchange for $100. This sounds like an easy job but it soon gets complicated. Something in the boxes is highly coveted. Víctor and his persecutors find themselves caught up in a crime they know nothing about.

VIBE

A sweltering, breathless chase through a chaotic marketplace. This film feels like a desperate scramble for a better life, where every transaction is a gamble and danger lurks in the humid air.
