Wolf, Lady, Rambo, Yeti, Bum-Bum, Smurf, Swedish and Dog are teenage guerrillas guarding an American hostage somewhere in the mountains of South America, amid phenomenally filmed, juicy and wild landscapes. The mysterious "Organization" gives them orders over the radio, assigns them a cow Shakira, machine guns to play and allows ritual orgies after a day of military training. When Shakira accidentally dies, the struggle for leadership in the squad begins, which must flee the mountains into the Amazon jungle. The chaos and tension that accompanied the teenagers turns into a brutal struggle to survive in an environment and mood reminiscent of "Time of the Apocalypse." The hostage senses a chance to escape, and the unit destroys the radio and thus contact with the "Organization". Young rebels resembling survivors of "Lord of the Flies" are left alone with their demons. They break through the tropical forest and death follows them ... The hypnotic atmosphere is perfectly emphasized by the soundtrack of Miki Levi. "Monos - a branch of monkeys" was a sensation at the Sundance (Special Jury Award) and Berlinale 2019 festivals, where "The Guardian" announced the film as "the biggest garment" and described it as "youth's time of the Apocalypse". Alejandro Landes's work is the official Colombian Oscar candidate.
