Crónicas (2004)

As dawn breaks over the rustic coastal village of Babahoyo, Ecuador, a sinister secret hides beneath its tranquil facade - a shadowy serial killer, preying on innocent children, lurks in the unknown. Enter Manolo Bonilla, the charismatic star reporter from Miami's riveting 'Hour of Truth' TV show. Driven by ambition and the tantalizing prospect of a career-defining scoop, Manolo convinces his producer and secret lover - the boss's wife - to linger in Babahoyo, diving headfirst into the chilling narrative that haunts the village. Their investigative journey takes an unexpected turn with the introduction of Vinicio Cepeda, an unfortunate man trapped behind bars due to a case of mistaken identity. Vinicio dangles a tantalizing lead in front of Manolo - he proffers an interview, promising to reveal the cryptic whispers he's heard from the elusive murderer. Manolo, convinced that Vinicio's reluctance to confess is but a façade, delves deeper into the labyrinth of deception. As the plot thickens, Manolo finds himself caught in a web of intrigue and danger. Vinicio's story, though initially suspect, begins to align with the terrifying reality of the serial killer's modus operandi. The reporter's relentless pursuit of glory spirals out of control, leading him down a path that threatens to carry grave and tragic consequences. Crónicas (2004) is a gripping tale of ambition, deception, and the dire costs of unbridled pursuit of truth. An unforgettable cinematic journey that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats, wondering where the line between truth and fiction blurs.
