Original Title:

Heli

A young Mexican husband’s life is ripped apart after his little sister starts seeing an older man. There’s a truly gruelling torture scene, and sour suggestions made about machismo, brutality and broken communication. It’s well-told and shot, yet ultimately unrewarding.

Grim and gritty. Warning: contains punishing scenes of testicle burning.
