CGiii Comment

Whatever the directors were trying to say...they failed, due to their own self-indulgence.

Most definitely, there is a fascinating story to tell. Unfortunately, these filmmakers were not the storytellers to tell it.

What a wasted opportunity.

The(ir) Blurb...

In the middle of the Colombian coffee region, Aribada, the resurrected monster, meets Las Traviesas, a group of indigenous transwomen from the Emberá tribes. The magical, the dreamlike and the performative coexist in their unique world.
