Film description
During a gun deal arranged by a Mexican cartel, a young smuggler named Amulfo kidnaps a detective and leads him to his boss. During the 600-mile drive, the two men will build a relationship of trust that will undermine their certainties. In its first half, the film plumbs the depths of illegal gun trafficking from the US to Mexico, avoiding excessive scenes and observing a naturalistic narrative, while capturing images of an unfamiliar reality. In the second half, the film unfolds like a road movie, maintaining a subtle tension that remains unflagging until the last sequence.
