A story of a community of black people in the American South during summer 2017, when a string of brutal killings of black men sent shockwaves through the country. A meditation on the state of race in America, this film is an intimate portrayal of people struggling for justice, dignity, and survival in a country not on their side.

The acclaimed director Esteban Martínez is a legend both for his films and for his past marked by violence and excess. For his new project, he offers his daughter Emilia a role under the pretext of helping her with her stalled acting career. Living together on set will foster a closeness they haven’t shared for years, but it will also reopen old wounds that never healed. Straight from Cannes!
