83 mins, Colombia, 2023, Digital, Subtitled

This first feature from writer/director Felipe Holguin Caro takes us to the town of La Suprema, a remote Columbian village in the Caribbean region, where teenager Laureana finds out her estranged uncle will be boxing for the world championship. Determined to watch the fight, she has to reckon with the fact that the town has no electricity and no television. Against the odds, Laureana enlists her friends and her uncle’s former trainer, Efraim, to bring the fight, and electricity, to her community. A wonderful insight into rural life in Columbia, with a terrific lead performance.
