Pólvora en el Corazón
Gunpowder Heart
Fiction | Guatemala, Spain | 2020 | 82 min | Spanish
Synopsis
Claudia and María (22) roam the streets of the City of Guatemala on motorcycle. Claudia works at a call center and is uninterested in the world around her. She lives with her activist grandfather, who tries to persuade her to join his cause. María, unlike Claudia, is more spontaneous and lives with her mother in the outskirts of the city. The chaotic streets are filled with common stories of abuse, unforgiving police officers, and charming secret corners. Everything changes one night when they are attacked by three men. Although they manage to escape, Claudia is faced with the dilemma of choosing revenge or listening to her grandfather’s advice.
