🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs a narrative on the sharp contrast between the mundane horror of war and the surrealism of sudden wealth. It explores human greed and morality, relying on the paradoxical situation where the characters possess a fortune but lack the basic means of survival.

What lingers after the viewing is the bitter irony and dark humor that saturate this incredible, fact-based story. The film leaves you pondering the true cost of a dream and what actually defines freedom. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Rodrigo Triana
