The Kings of the World
Directed by Laura Mora
Produced by Caracol Televisión, Ciudad Lunar
A lyrical, energetic coming-of-age odyssey following a tight-knit band of street boys through Medellín's underworld, balancing gritty realism with dreamlike, subversive storytelling.
Rá, Culebro, Sere, Winny and Nano. Five boys who live on the streets of Medellín. Five kings with no kingdom, no law, no family, set out on a journey in search of the promised land. A subversive tale told through a wild and endearing clan, somewhere between reality and delirium. A journey to nowhere, where everything happens.
