Car factory worker Heli lives a modest life in rural Mexico with his wife and baby, father, and 12-year-old sister Estela. In a very misguided attempt to finance an elopement with Estela, police cadet Beto steals two parcels of cocaine from the wrong people. Their lives quickly descend into an unbelievable yet all-too-credible nightmare of violence and brutality. Amat Escalante’s third feature (Sangre, Los Bastardos) is an unflinching look on the lawlessness in contemporary Mexico, and not for the faint of heart.
