The nearly 40-year-old Julio Cesar lives a quiet life with his Colombian mother. They make a living as the local drug dealers and spend their evenings dancing salsa at various bars. But everything changes when Ines, a young Colombian cocaine courier on her first trip to Europe, appears. A new path opens up for Julio Cesar—a painful journey that leads him to explore his yet unexplored South American roots.
The film’s fast-paced dialogue between the vibrant characters in both Spanish and Italian creates a humorous dynamic, moving between embarrassment and engagement. The film has won multiple awards at film festivals worldwide, including at the Venice Film Festival.
