This suspenseful Italian crime drama is set in a Colombian river town and chronicles the series of events that led up to murder. Based on a novel by distinguished author Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the tale begins in the present as a middle-aged doctor returns to the village after a twenty-year absence to investigate the murder that occurred just before he left.

VIBE

A hauntingly beautiful, yet deeply unsettling, exploration of a community bound by tradition and a murder that hangs over them all. It's a slow, deliberate descent into a past that refuses to stay buried, leaving a lingering sense of dread.
