Such Is Life in the Tropics (2016)

In the tropical city of Guayaquil, a single stray bullet instigates a pulsating narrative that travels through every social layer of the city. Samir, a privileged young heir, finds himself locked in a bitter struggle as he attempts to expel 250 families squatting on his inherited land. Amidst the simmering tensions, the settlement's leader, aware that eviction will inevitably breed violence, steps forward to negotiate. Yet, whispers of treachery begin to unsettle the squatters, intensifying the looming threat of conflict.
