The Kings of the World (2022) 15

Colombia, Luxembourg, Mexico, France, Norway | 2022 | 104 min.

Rá, Culebro, Sere, Winny and Nano, five street kids from Medellin, five kings without a kingdom, with no law and no family, looking for The Promised Land. The five embark on a trip to claim a piece of land that Rá inherited after a long process of land restitution. A subversive tale about a savage and lovely clan that transits between reality and delirium. A journey to nowhere where anything can happen.
