From the port of Buenaventura – the most dangerous city in Colombia – three men embark on a journey over the dark murky waters of the Pacific. A set of mysterious coordinates is their guide, a fishing net is their cover, and a narco-torpedo filled with 100kg of cocaine is their cargo. Following the estranged brothers as they risk everything for a chance at a better life, Manos Sucias (Dirty Hands) takes a close look at life at the bottom of the food chain in the international drug trade. Director/co-writer Josef Kubota Wladyka keeps the story moving at a frenetic pace, never forgetting the tragedy and anguish of his characters’ world.
Jacobo (Jarlin Martinez, front) and his younger brother Delio (Cristian Advincula) attempt to smuggle cocaine up the Pacific from Colombia in MANOS SUCIAS.
