When a cartel gunman is killed, he leaves behind his 4-year-old son. The shadow of violence surrounds Sujo throughout each stage of his life. As he grows, Sujo discovers that fulfilling his father’s destiny might be unavoidable. Raised by his hermit-like aunt Nemesia, whose name means vengeance, Sujo must come to realise his own worth; he must command his own fate. The film builds slowly, culminating in a visceral climax so resonant and deeply felt, after the film ends you realise you’ve been holding your breath, hoping Sujo finally gets to live life on his terms, not one dictated by his place of birth or family’s choices.
