Program Note
Isolated in the deep Mayan jungles of Mexico, a group of gum tree workers come across a mysterious Belizean woman. Young Agnes was just trying to escape a forced marriage, but her rescuers soon become predators as tensions rise in the lawless jungle where legendary fantasies and sexual desires are ignited. The vibrant green colors of the exotic tropical jungle transform into the perfect setting for female vengeance. This is the fourth feature and most ambitious filmed by director Yulene Olaizola, who brings out powerful performances from natural indigenous actors and borrows the ancient Mayan myth to capture the disastrous clash of civilizations.
