ThrillerCrime

Barren Land is the story of three friends. All three trapped between the abandonment of the institutions, the violent and unstoppable rise of the narco in the province and the dangerous increase of social discontent. Three friends trapped in a powder keg that will test their friendship.

VIBE

This is a relentlessly tense and gritty descent into a world where desperation breeds dangerous choices. It feels like a powder keg, steadily building pressure as loyalties are tested against a backdrop of societal decay and unchecked power. A bleak, anxious experience.
