Here, under the law of the jungle, women are more female and men more beasts...

DramaWestern

A smuggler lives far from civilization, in a hut in the jungle with his wife, La Choca, his son and his sister-in-law Flor. One day some men arrive, who accuse him of having betrayed them.

VIBE

A stark, unforgiving portrait of a man pushed to his limits. It feels like a slow descent into a primal, dusty reckoning, where every glance carries weight and the air is thick with unspoken threats and simmering resentment.
