Plot
In the verdant and treacherous heart of Colombia in May 2003, a tale steeped in surrealism and irony unfolds, based on real events. Our story follows the hardscrabble lives of Porras, Venegas, Lloreda and Perlaza, four soldiers amidst the 147-strong anti-guerrilla "Destroyer" battalion. Overworked, underpaid, and forgotten, they stumble upon an unexpected windfall during a perilous rescue mission - $46 million hidden in a FARC "guaca".
The money, a staggering fortune to them, becomes a beacon of hope, a path towards dreams they dared not dream. The soldiers, isolated and stranded amidst the dense jungle, decide to keep the money for themselves rather than handing it over to the Government. Their existence, deprived of basic necessities like food, water, and toilet paper, takes on a surreal edge as they sleep on bags brimming with dollars.
The discovery becomes a catalyst, transforming their lives forever. It promises authority, power, respect - a ticket out of impoverishment. Some dream of aiding their families, others of a life of indulgence. But this newfound wealth becomes a double-edged sword as they squander it on brothels, alcohol, and prostitutes, their morality eroding under its weight.
The crux of their journey revolves around their desperate attempt to return to civilization, the only bridge connecting them blown to smithereens. Will they overcome the obstacles and make their dreams come true? Or will their desires consume them? 'A Ton of Luck' weaves a captivating tale of fortune, dreams, and the human capacity for corruption and redemption, painted against the backdrop of a country embroiled in conflict.
