HIJO DEL RIO
“Hijo del Rio” is a poignant drama that follows the life of a young man grappling with his identity while navigating the complexities of family, tradition, and modernity. Set against the backdrop of a picturesque river town, the story delves into themes of belonging and self-discovery as he confronts the challenges posed by his lineage and the expectations of those around him. Through vivid storytelling and rich character development, the film captures the essence of a journey that is both personal and universal.
18-year-old Juan comes from his Indian reservation to Buenos Aires, where he joins, in rage over discrimination in the slums, a criminal gang, which is used by corrupt police officers.
