Synopsis
At the age of four, Sujo’s (Juan Jesús Varela) hitman father is vengefully murdered by the local cartel. At risk of a similar fate, the women in Sujo’s life quietly band together and whisk him away to safety. This tender coming-of-age story follows Sujo from his isolated childhood into his teenage years. But with gang warfare and poverty rife in the region, can he truly escape the same fate? Sujo (2024) scooped up awards at this year’s Sundance, Cinélatino Toulouse and Sofia Film Festivals with the depiction of women who risk their own freedom and safety to end this violent cycle of corruption.
