Los Abrazos del RioNicolas Rincon Gille

People who live on the banks of the Magdalena river in Colombia blame their bad luck on Mohan, a mythical river spirit. He is the one who makes holes in the fishermen’s nets and whenever anyone drowns, he must be behind it. What starts out as an entertaining story about local legends gradually turns into an unsettling tale about violence and repression by right-wing militarists. A meditative approach of the violent life in Colombia.
