Los Viejones De Guanajuato

2016

A tense, grounded rural crime drama about family honor and land, with bursts of violence and a serious, earnest tone.

Directed by
Alonso O. Lara
Starring
Luis Huizar, Jesus Heredia El Gatillo, Vianey Huizar
Overview
The Ramirez are a respected family determined to defend their land — and the land of the workers of Rancho Seco — from growing threats in the Salamanca region. Los Garcia, a ruthless criminal group, are pressuring local families to sell their property in order to expand their operations. Behind the intimidation lies a larger plan: constructing a landing strip for small aircraft to support their drug trafficking activities. When the Garcias begin targeting members of the Ramirez family, the conflict escalates beyond negotiation. Proud men from Guanajuato, the Ramirezes refuse to surrender. What begins as a land dispute quickly turns into a violent confrontation, where bullets fly and blood is spilled in a battle to protect honor, family, and territory.
