Winner of the Camera d’Or at Cannes, this poignant, atmospheric drama is set amid Colombia’s sugarcane agriculture: looking at its plantations, farmers, and working conditions. A deceptively simple but visually striking tale about a difficult return, played mostly by nonprofessional actors.

The tension of incarceration simmers quietly in Andrés Ramírez Pulido’s arresting tale of crime and punishment, shot under the sweltering summer sun. Drawing a visual parallel between the male form and the contours of Colombian tropical forests, La jauría unearths the insidious roots of violence.
