Los Conductos (2020)

The film plays like an intimate therapy session of sorts as, through measured voiceover, Pinky (Luis Felipe Lozano) unpicks his assimilation into the sect, overseen by a Godlike figure named ‘Father’ who promised love and acceptance but coerces his followers into violent acts in the name of faith. After his escape, Pinky scratches out a living working in t-shirt factories and smelting plants, sleeping on cardboard beds in empty warehouses. He digs through rubbish dumps in search of disregarded treasure. He carves the inscription ‘This is My Life’ on the handle of the gun that never leaves his side.
