Vergüenza

Coming back home, after trying out for a baseball academy, friends Pedro and Lucio are kidnapped from a bus along with other people and handed over to a criminal group, which forces them to fight to the death in order to recruit them as hitmen. Pedro defeats Lucio and escapes. Tormented by guilt and fear, Pedro wanders between remaining silent or telling the truth to his friend’s parents, who give him shelter when they find out that he has been left without a home, without school and without a job. As the days go by, Pedro integrates into the intimacy of this family, fractured by the son’s absence, and will suffer the price of his secret. (Guadalajara International Film Festival)
