SHOWING
Emilio’s days go by in a hot and humid region of Colombia; he is a 16-year-old boy who, due to uneasiness and a lack of opportunities, has no other choice but to join the paramilitary group that operates in the area. A kind of automatas that control the area in a merciless form; for that reason, no young person born in those conflicted territories seems to be able to escape.
Director, screenwriter and editor holds a bachelor's degree in Audiovisual Communication from Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia. Andrés Jiménez Quintero has worked on various short and feature film projects as an editor and editing assistant.
