Synopsis:

In his third film exploring modern Mexican society, Cannes award-winning director Amat Escalante looks unflinchingly at the country's escalating drug wars and their devastating impact on one fictional family.

Stark, shocking and beautifully photographed, this powerfully affecting film has received worldwide critical acclaim.

When the drug cartel want their drugs back they go after the boyfriend and Heli's young family.

Heli must try and protect his young family when his 12-year-old sister inadvertently involves them in the brutal drug world. He must battle against the drug cartel that have been angered as well as the corrupt police force.
