Sierreño dialogue that bites harder than the Sonoran sun.

Sergio Galindo
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sierreño cinema from the 1980s rarely got international distribution; this is regional Mexican filmmaking preserving specific Sonoran identity and dialect before globalization flattened everything.
Sergio Galindo directed this between telenovela gigs — the same year he was pumping out melodrama episodes, he made this lean, mean festival fable.
