Gorgeous cinematography and terrific acting highlight this somber, dark, factually inspired, Oscar-nominated, gritty, violent, 122-minute crime thriller that chronicles the beginning of the Colombian drug trade in 1960 in which an ambitious businessman (José Acosta) starts a marijuana venture with his reckless best friend (Jhon Narváez) to raise a dowry of thirty goats, twenty cows, and five necklaces to marry the beautiful daughter (Natalia Reyes) of the respected family matriarch (Carmiña Martínez).of the indigenous Wayuu tribe (José Vicente, Greider Meza, et al.) and follows the proud family's rise to power and wealth leaving behind their simpler way of life and their eventual destruction in 1980 when their rival partner (Juan Bautista Martínez) goes over the edge in seeking revenge for the rape of his daughter.
