Synopsis

Having premiered at the Cannes Critics Week, the film follows two humble fishermen who live in a forgotten hamlet near the Cauca river, who discover that a dead body had been tangled in their cast net.

Failing to give notice to the authorities, they decide that it would be more humane to bury him, so they start dragging the dead body towards the jungle.
