Synopsis

The story of Chocó, a twenty-seven years old who has two children, a tiny wooden hut on the edge of a Colombian village, an underpaid job in a gold mine, and a marimba-playing husband named Everlides, who gambles away the little money they have.

Our take

A low-budget ode to female resilience, this fierce interrogation of the effects of domestic violence features a remarkable turn from newcomer Karent Hinestroza. Atmospherically directed by Colombian filmmaker Jhonny Hendrix, Chocó marries its vivid documentary style to vibrant production design.
