Synopsis

Drowning in debt, JJ, a young woman from the US, escapes from Los Angeles to Baja California, Mexico, looking for an old lover to save her from her tumultuous existence. She is accompanied by Esmeralda, a 14-year-old Mexican teenager who escapes from home and offers her a tempting sum of money if she accepts to take her to see her father. Always with the threat of being discovered, they embark on an adventure through the desert in which JJ's bad decisions will increasingly complicate things; but, along the way, a special relationship will emerge between both of them.

Critics' reviews

"The Gigantes has the feel, given the richness of its premise, of a missed opportunity, but remains a distinctive piece with enough interest to potentially generate international interest from indie-spirited festivals."

Jonathan Holland: Screendaily
