Pajaros de verano (Birds Of Passage)

Zaida (Natalia Reyes) is a member of a Wayuu indigenous tribe in 1960s Colombia, whose rituals date back generations. The young woman is readied for marriage by undergoing a period of strict isolation from would-be suitors and when she emerges from solitary confinement, a neighbour called Rapayet (Jose Acosta) attempts to win Zaida's hand by paying formidable matriarch Ursula (Camina Martinez) a dowry. Rapayet meets this demand by trafficking marijuana with best friend Moises (Jhon Narvaez). When one deal goes disastrously wrong, Wayuu law dictates that Rapayet must kill Moises. A cycle of violence pits Ursula against a rival family, whose swift retaliations threaten the lives of Zaida and the rest of the clan.
