Italy 2023 Fiction Cor 106 min.

Julio Cesar is almost 40 years old and still lives with his mother, a Colombian woman with an explosive personality. They share practically everything: from their small house on the lagoon filled with their memories, the little cash they earn working for a local drug dealer, and a passion for salsa and merengue nights at their local. That fragile equilibrium threatens to fall apart with the arrival of Ines, a young Colombian girl fresh from her first trip as a cocaine “mule”.

Winner of best screenplay and best actress award to Margarita Rosa de Francisco in the Horizons section at the Venice International Film Festival.
