About the film
What it’s about
Roque leaves behind the crisis in Venezuela and his alcoholism, retreating to the Amazon jungle to repair a cabin he built in happier times. His withdrawal brings feverish visions, and his hope for redemption turns fragile when he encounters old friends working in an illegal gold mine controlled by Colombian guerrillas. The brutal conditions drag him into a spiral of self-destruction that consumes him from within.
What hooks you
Jorge Thielen Armand directs Jorge Thielen Hedderich as Roque, alongside Carlos Medina, Leudys Naranjo, and Yoni Naranjo. The production spans Venezuela, Colombia, the Netherlands, and France, and its tension arises from the clash between recovery and the violent lure of gold.
Who it’s for
It is a good pick for those who like slow-burning character studies where a man's inner struggle mirrors a harsh, remote setting, and for viewers drawn to stories about addiction, redemption, and the moral costs of survival.
